Comprehensive Medical Services
The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons United States Penitentiary Atwater published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for comprehensive medical services to support the adult inmate population at USP Atwater in California. The services encompass inpatient/outpatient facility and physician services, along with specialized medical care including ENT, general surgery, neurology, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, psychiatry, urology, optometry, and oral surgery provided by community-based providers when internal federal medical staff cannot meet the needs. The Bureau of Prisons justified the sole source procurement under FAR 6.302-1, citing Seven Corners, Inc. as the only responsible source capable of ensuring seamless service delivery without disruption, given their role as the incumbent provider for over five years with an established medical network. The justification covers multiple contract periods: a six-month extension from December 2024 through May 2025 valued at approximately $1.6 million, followed by three-month extensions from June through August 2025 and September through November 2025, each valued at approximately $612,000. These interim actions maintain continuity of care while the Field Acquisition Office works to competitively award a new long-term comprehensive medical services contract under the existing contract vehicle 15B61819D00000001.

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons United States Penitentiary Atwater has awarded contract 15B61819D00000001 to Seven Corners on a sole-source basis for comprehensive medical services, with the most recent interim justification covering August 1 through September 30, 2026, at an estimated cost of $407,930.
The justification cites the critical and urgent nature of healthcare delivery to the inmate population and the inability to transition to an alternative provider without operational disruption. Seven Corners is identified as the only responsible source capable of ensuring seamless service delivery due to its five-year tenure as the incumbent contractor, established network of local medical facilities and physicians, completed provider credentialing and background clearances, and current onsite outpatient services. Any transition to a new third-party administrator would require a minimum 30-day service commencement period plus 30-60 days for security clearance investigations, creating an unacceptable gap in care. The justification cites 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1) and FAR Deviation 6.103-1 as statutory authority. Market research confirms comprehensive medical services are available from multiple vendors in the commercial marketplace, but immediate availability without operational disruption justifies the single-source award. Services include inpatient and outpatient facility and physician services in specialties including ENT, general surgery, neurology, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, psychiatry, urology, optometry, and oral surgery. Seven Corners' rates are consistent with option year four of the prior competitive contract and were determined fair and reasonable. The Field Acquisition Office is concurrently conducting a competitive procurement for a new indefinite delivery/requirements contract, after which sole-source justifications will no longer be necessary. Place of performance is Atwater, California.
