Physician and health care services government contracts
In fiscal year 2026, federal agencies obligated $8.50B on health care services contracts so far (Defense contracts arrive about 90 days late, so the year's total is still rising). Department of Veterans Affairs bought the most, followed by Department of Defense. 12 health care services contract opportunities are open now on SAM.gov, and 318 contracts worth $9.74B with options end in the next 12 months.
Physicians, nurses, clinicians and other health care services for VA medical centers, military treatment facilities, the Indian Health Service and federal prisons.
Set-asides: at least 3% of FY2026's health care services contract dollars ($216.30M) went through contracts set aside for small businesses, most through small business and indian economic enterprise set-asides. Many orders under larger contracts carry no set-aside code, so this counts only what is reported. How set-asides work →

How the government buys health care services work
- Clinical staff need licenses, credentialing and privileges at the facility before they start; plan the time it takes.
- VA and the Defense Health Agency use multiple-award contracts for clinical staffing; being on them opens the orders.
