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 ensure patient safety and clinical efficiency during perioperative procedures. The scope of work covers comprehensive nursing duties across multiple surgical areas. 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, maintaining sterile fields, performing surgical counts, managing specimens, and supporting a case mix that includes endoscopy, dental, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, minor oral or facial procedures, and podiatry for both adult and pediatric patients. For post-operative care, the agency requires nurses to manage the Post Anesthesia Unit, where they will receive patient handoffs, monitor airways, manage pain and complications, and conduct discharge evaluations. Endoscopy Room duties involve providing full pre-, intra-, and post-procedure nursing support, including patient monitoring and specimen handling. All services must be performed onsite at the government facility in Shiprock, New Mexico. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to submit proposals for this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services, and no specific budget threshold has been disclosed in the initial solicitation. The agency has not provided specific evaluation criteria or key dates in the source documentation.
