Under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, the National Guard Bureau, Operational Contracting Division, Arlington, VA intends to award a Firm Fixed-Price contract to Soft Power Solutions, LLC of Chantilly, VA to provide comprehensive centralized credentialing and privileging program development, implementation, and support to the Air National Guard (ANG), Office of the Air Surgeon (NGB/SG).
Soft Power Solutions, LLC is currently providing the Credentialing and Privileging services to the Air National Guard and would take at least 3 months to transition these services to the next contractor. Any lapse of Credentialing and Privileging services will result in the decline of the Air National Guard’s Medical Providers, which affects Individual Medical Readiness rates and the total force posture. A reduction in the Air National Guard’s total force posture will decrease the Air National Guard’s ability to deploy its forces in support of the US Air Force’s mission requirements.
Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to the Beta-SAM solicitation number W9133L20R1000.
