Additional pharmacist services are necessary to support safe, effective, and compliant pharmacy operations in accordance with Indian Health Manual, Chapter 7 requirements. Contracted pharmacist support will enhance continuity of care, improve access to pharmacy services, strengthen chronic disease management efforts, and support medication safety and patient education activities. These services will help expand the Yakama Service Unit’s capacity to provide high-quality pharmaceutical care to eligible American Indian and Alaska Native patients. Background: The Yakama Service Unit (YSU) requires the procurement of contracted pharmacist services to support its Pharmacy Department due to current staffing shortages caused by vacancies and the limited availability of qualified personnel.

Contracted pharmacist services are essential to support medication dispensing, patient counseling, and overall clinical pharmacy functions related to patient care. The current staffing conditions present a risk of operational disruption, which may result in delays in services and reduced access to care for patients. Continued reliance on limited staffing is not sustainable and increases the likelihood of service gaps. This acquisition is necessary to ensure reliable pharmacy operations through the provision of qualified, licensed pharmacist personnel, protect patient safety, and prevent further disruption to pharmacy services. Contractor is advised that housing availability near the Yakama Service Unit may be limited. Scope: The Contractor shall provide pharmacist services to ensure safe, accurate, and continuous pharmacy operations in support of patient care at the Yakama Service Unit (YSU).

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, supervision, and professional expertise necessary to meet these performance objectives. The Contractor shall also provide immunizations and offer blood pressure screenings in accordance with applicable clinical guidelines and facility policies.
