Operating Room and Recovery Nursing Services

The Northern Navajo Medical Center in Shiprock, New Mexico, requires contracted Registered Nurse services to support its operating room and recovery departments. The agency needs qualified nursing personnel to manage patient care across the Day Surgery Unit, Operating Room, Post Anesthesia Care Unit, and Endoscopy Room. This procurement addresses the agency's need for consistent, specialized staffing to maintain safe perioperative operations and patient flow. The scope of work covers comprehensive nursing duties throughout the surgical cycle. In the Day Surgery Unit, personnel must perform patient admissions, verify consents, conduct pre-operative assessments, initiate intravenous therapy, and coordinate with the anesthesia and surgical teams. Operating Room duties include circulating for scheduled and add-on cases, maintaining sterile fields, conducting surgical counts, and supporting a case mix of endoscopy, dental, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, minor oral or facial procedures, and podiatry for both adult and pediatric patients. For post-operative care, personnel must manage the Post Anesthesia Care Unit by receiving anesthesia handoffs, monitoring airways, managing pain, and evaluating patients for discharge or transfer. Endoscopy Room duties require nursing support before, during, and after endoscopic procedures, including specimen handling and patient monitoring. All services must be performed onsite at the government facility in Shiprock, New Mexico. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is currently seeking proposals to determine the budget and cost structure for these services.
