Rural Residency Planning and Development Program Services

The Health Resources and Services Administration is seeking a vendor to provide rural residency planning and development program services in Washington, DC. The agency is attempting to improve and expand rural health care access by addressing physician shortages in rural areas. To solve this problem, the agency requires the creation of new rural physician residency programs that train physicians to practice in rural communities and meet the clinical needs of rural populations. The scope of work requires the development of a new rural residency program that must be accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. The selected vendor must finalize a validated sustainability plan that includes ongoing, stable funding streams, such as Medicare, to sustain long-term resident training after the program is established. Additionally, the agency requires the development of a structured plan to track and publicly report on resident career outcomes. Bidders must perform all work onsite within the United States, as only onshore vendors are eligible for this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and will accept responses digitally via email or online. The source document does not specify further evaluation criteria or key dates for this procurement.
