Why This Contract Is Different
- Funded federal contract — Signed, awarded, funded. Not a pipeline posting or future opportunity.
- $2,500 per case, 45 cases per year — $112,500 annual income for predictable, low-volume work
- State-of-the-art facility — New 1.1M sq ft William Beaumont AMC at Fort Bliss, TX (opened 2021)
- Predictable schedule — 72-hour advance notice for routine cases, minimal emergency burden
- 4-year stability — Base year + 3 option years (April 2026 through March 2030)
- Contractor-owned equipment model — You control your system, consumables, and clinical workflow
- Supplements your existing portfolio — 3 to 4 cases per month leaves room for other engagements
