Performance Work Statement (PWS)

1. PERFORMANCE-BASED SUMMARY

This requirement is structured as a performance-based acquisition for non-personal professional physician hospitalist services. The Contractor is responsible for achieving the performance outcomes stated in this PWS and each resulting Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Call, including reliable staffing, timely and appropriate inpatient clinical care, complete documentation, continuity of coverage, and compliance with applicable clinical, credentialing, patient-safety, and facility standards.

2. INTRODUCTION AND ACQUISITION STRUCTURE

The Phoenix Area Indian Health Service (IHS) requires qualified physician hospitalists to provide acute inpatient hospital medicine services. Phoenix Indian Medical Center (PIMC) is the principal Ordering Activity and the primary clinical requirement upon which this PWS is based. The Government intends to establish one or more BPAs. Individual funded requirements will be ordered through authorized BPA Calls. Other Phoenix Area Service Units may use the resulting BPA(s) for hospitalist requirements that fall within the general scope of this PWS. Participation by another Ordering Activity does not alter PIMC clinical management of Hospital Medicine services performed at PIMC. Each Ordering Activity remains responsible for its own facility-specific clinical coordination, credentialing and privileging, orientation, patient-safety requirements, and acceptance of services. Each BPA Call will identify the Ordering Activity, place(s) of performance, required coverage hours or shifts, schedule, period of performance, funded ceiling, and facility-specific requirements. Establishment of a BPA does not guarantee issuance of a Call, any minimum quantity, or any minimum number of hours. This is a non-personal services requirement. Contractor personnel are not Government employees and shall not be subject to continuous Government supervision or control. The Contractor retains responsibility for recruiting, employing, scheduling, assigning, supervising, managing, compensating, and ensuring the performance of its personnel.

3. ORDERING ACTIVITIES AND INCLUDED FACILITIES

PIMC is the principal Ordering Activity. Other Phoenix Area Ordering Activities may participate when an identified hospitalist need is within the scope of this PWS. The Government identifies the known primary and affiliated facilities
