Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, as the prior contract 15M10421PA4700034 was awarded to The Johns Hopkins University for “Medical Oversight for Special Operations Group/Operational Medical Support Unit” with a period of performance from 07/01/2021 to 06/30/2026 (value $505,110). The current requirement similarly calls for physician-directed provider certification and ongoing operational and training support for the USMS SOG Medic Program, which suggests continuity of the same medical oversight function and support unit responsibilities.
