Background

Federal Occupational Health (FOH) improves the health, safety, and productivity of the federal workforce. As the largest provider of occupational health services in the federal government, FOH supports more than 300 federal entities and over one million federal employees nationwide, including the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories. FOH delivers comprehensive occupational health services and consultation through Interagency Agreements (IAAs) with federal departments and agencies at the national, regional, and local levels. Services range from core occupational health and safety programs to structured clinical, wellness, behavioral health, and environmental health solutions. FOH retains sole responsibility for consulting with customer agencies, while the contractor facilitates delivery of services outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) as well as the solicitation found in the attachments section.  

FOH sets the standard for promoting a culture of health and safety across the federal workforce. Program effectiveness depends on the expertise and performance of contractor-managed operations, including procurement of Medications, Vaccines and Medical Supplies (MVMS). Historically, FOH has sourced MVMS from multiple vendors, including the Program Support Center’s fulfillment center. This contract will consolidate MVMS procurement into a more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective model; reduce reliance on government purchase cards and unstable supply chains; and strengthen FOH oversight of procurement activities.
