This is a sole source justification for a six-month contract to provide three anesthesiologists to the New Mexico VA Healthcare System. The period of performance is from March 6, 2026, through September 5, 2026, with an estimated cost of $1,553,354.40. The services are required at the New Mexico VA Healthcare System to address a critical staffing shortage that is limiting surgical services. This is a temporary solution until a long-term contract is competitively awarded.
