This is a personal services contract to provide mental health/Psychiatry services at the Ft. McDermitt Health Clinic to the members of the Ft. McDermitt Paiute - Shoshone Tribe. The Ft. McDermitt Health Clinic is located in the isolated Ft. McDermitt Paiute - Shoshone Indian Reservation. The reservation coupled with the local community and surrounding ranches comprise a population of 400 - 500 people. This limited number of people coupled with the lasting economic depression associated with minimal mining activity result in limited resources of any type let alone medical resources. The two nearest hospitals are located 75 miles South in Winnemucca, NV, and 191 miles North in Boise, ID. The communities located between Winnemucca and Boise are isolated. Locating providers willing to contract and travel to this isolated area are rare. IHS intends to contract, sole source, with a local Psychiatrist who has provided services for a minimum of four years. Continuity of care with the same Psychiatrist is essential to the continued and stable care offered to the patients of the Ft. McDermitt Paiute - Shoshone Tribe. Copies of the solicitation can be requested from Jim Rogers.
