About this file
This document is an amendment to a federal solicitation for Comprehensive Medical Services at United States Penitentiary (USP) Lee in Pennington Gap, Virginia. The Federal Bureau of Prisons is seeking a single contractor to provide inpatient and outpatient medical facility and physician services through an indefinite delivery/requirements contract with firm-fixed unit pricing. The contract will consist of a base year and four 12-month option periods, with estimated quantities of 100 inpatient days and 535 outpatient visits annually. Key modifications in this amendment include removing the DOJ-05 security clause, replacing the contractor past performance questionnaire with a vendor attestation form, and updating special contract conditions and submission/evaluation instructions. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical criteria, past performance, and pricing, with an emphasis on service diversity, driving distances to medical providers, facility accreditation, and potential contract enhancements.

6. Audited and/or certified financial statements (balance sheet, profit and loss statement) for the previous fiscal year.
Freedom of Information Act Notice
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and its amendments have resulted in an increasing number of requests from outside the Government for copies of contract proposals submitted to Federal agencies. If an offeror's proposal contains information that he/she believes should be withheld from such requestors, under FOIA, on grounds that it is "trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential" [(b)(4) of the FOIA], the offeror should identify all such information so that if the proposal is ever the subject of a FOIA request, the decision to disclose or withhold can be made promptly by the responsible Federal official. If the offeror considers parts of the proposal withholdable under FOIA, the following notice should be placed on the title page:
"Some parts of this document, as identified on individual pages, are considered by the submitter to be privileged or confidential trade secrets or commercial or financial information not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Material considered privileged or confidential on such grounds is contained on pages ______.”
The offeror should mark each individual item considered privileged or confidential under the FOIA with the following notice:
"The data or information is considered confidential or privileged, and not subject to mandatory disclosure under the FOIA."
All information in the offeror's proposal which is not designated may be subject to automatic public disclosure, if it is requested under FOIA. It must be emphasized that under FOIA no information is automatically exempt from public disclosure. However, no disclosures under
FOIA will be made without a careful and exacting evaluation, giving due regard to the need for safeguarding material considered by the submitter to be privileged or confidential. The Department of Justice's policy is to withhold, whenever possible, material that is genuinely privileged or confidential.
Evaluation of Proposals
Evaluation Procedures
Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria set forth in this solicitation. The results of the proposal evaluation will be used to determine whether an offeror's proposal will be considered for inclusion within the competitive range for the purpose of discussions. Offerors are hereby notified that the competitive range may be limited to the greatest number of proposals that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly-rated proposals. Offerors are also advised that a contract award may be made without discussions; therefore, the initial proposal should provide the Government with sufficient information to recommend a contract award without discussions and should reflect the offeror's ability to perform at a reasonable price.
Technical Evaluation
The Technical Evaluation Plan will rate each offeror's proposal against technical evaluation criteria. A technical proposal deserving of an outstanding rating shall receive a higher rating than that of a mediocre proposal, as compared to the technical evaluation criteria. The technical evaluation shall be based on the documentation which supports an offeror's ability to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of this solicitation.
Past Performance Evaluation
Offerors are advised that the Government will utilize information located in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and information obtained from the three
(3) references as well as the response from the offeror regarding experience relevant to this contract to evaluate past performance.
If adequate information is available in CPARS, the Government may only use information from CPARS in the past performance evaluation.
The Government will evaluate the offeror’s past performance for the following:
(a) relevancy
(b) quality of services
(c) timeliness of deliverables/adherence to performance schedule
(d) management
(e) utilization of small business and
(f) regulatory compliance
Performance information will be used for both responsibility determinations and as an evaluation factor against which offerors' ratings will be compared in the determination of best value to the
Government. Past performance will be rated and the Government's conclusions about the offeror's past performance will be considered in determining the relative merits of the offeror's proposal.
The Government reserves the right to use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the offeror. Information may be utilized from the references listed in the proposal and other relevant references known to the BOP. The Government also reserves the right to disregard a reference as non-relevant if that reference is unable to provide an informative response. The Government reserves the right to review past performance information received by the Contracting Officer following the deadline for receipt of proposals and up to the time of award.
Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on consideration of facts and circumstances. It will not be on absolute standards of acceptable performance. By evaluating past performance, the Government intends to consider the offeror's record of conforming to specifications and to standards of good workmanship; the offeror's adherence to contract schedules, including administrative aspects of performance; the offeror's reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally, the offeror's business-like concern for the interests of the customer. This is a matter of judgment.
Price Evaluation
An objective price evaluation and analysis will be performed on each Offeror's price proposal.
Offerors are requested to submit a separate price proposal for the base period and each individual option period, as specified in this solicitation. The evaluated price will be inclusive of the base year and all option years.
Price proposals will be evaluated to determine which proposal offers the lowest price to the Government. The offeror providing the highest discount from the Medicare rate will be considered to be offering the lowest price in each category.
The offeror proposing the highest premium to the Medicare rate will be considered to be offering the highest price in each category. For other items, the offeror proposing the lowest unit price will be considered to be offering the lowest price in each category. Offerors must adhere strictly to the pricing methodology required by the solicitation.
Offerors who vary their pricing methodology create a situation whereby the Government cannot conduct a comparative evaluation of offers in pricing aspects. Therefore, any offeror who proposes a pricing methodology in any pricing category which varies from the prescribed (e.g., proposing multiple rates within any category or proposing a differing methodology) will receive no pricing score for each such category.
Evaluation Criteria
The Government intends to make a single award to an offeror, pursuant to an affirmative determination of responsibility, whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be in the best interest of the Government, price and other factors considered. In this tradeoff process, non-price factors (when combined) are approximately equal to price. Technical criteria and past performance are of equal value.
Evaluation criteria to be applied to proposals received in response to this solicitation are detailed below. Offerors are advised that should the offeror's proposals be considered approximately the same or equal under non-price factors, price could be paramount in the selection decision.
Technical Criteria
Demonstrated approach to providing an appropriate mix of resources to deliver quality medical care to the Inmates located at the institution, while mitigating the Government's costs and security risks, as measured by the following subfactors, which are of equal importance:
1. Level of diversity of services proposed;
2. Driving distance and conditions to and from the community-based providers;
3. Accreditation status of the proposed contract facility(ies);
4. Enhancements to the basic contract requirements proposed by the offeror which will facilitate institution’s ability to conform to the BOP’s stated mission.
Past Performance Criteria

Applicable security controls include certifications indicating compliance with: state licensure requirements, SOC 2, ISO 27001, Payment Card Industry, HIPAA as applicable or other environment certifications that would be applicable (to be specified by the vendor). Vendor has attached documentation of said certifications as part of this affirmation.
The vendor affirms that internal controls are in place to identify and remediate vulnerabilities within any IT system in which DOJ information is stored and that DOJ data will be stored exclusively within the boundaries of the United States and that only US citizens have access to DOJ’s data. The vendor affirms that any DOJ information made available to vendor under this contract shall be used only for the purpose of performance of this contract and shall not be divulged or made known in any manner to any persons except as may be necessary in the performance of this contract. The vendor shall neither reproduce nor release such information to any third-party at any time, including during or after performance of the contract, without prior written permission of the CO or COR.
The vendor agrees to report any actual or suspected breach of DOJ Information within one hour of discovery of an actual breach, and within 24 hours of a suspected breach if vendor has not yet been able to determine whether a breach has occurred. A “breach” is an incident or occurrence that involves the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, or any similar occurrence where: (1) a person other than an authorized user accesses or potentially accesses DOJ Information or (2) an authorized user accesses or potentially accesses DOJ Information for an other than authorized purpose. The report of a breach must be made to the CO or COR; if neither can be reached, the vendor must report the breach to the DOJ Security Operations Center (jsoc@usdoj.gov, 202-357-7000) and FBOP’s Information Security Program Office; the COR; and the Contracting Officer within one (1) hour of the initial discovery. The vendor should not disclose any details of the potential or confirmed breach to any individual not involved in responding to the breach. The vendor agrees to cooperate with DOJ’s inquiry into the incident and efforts to minimize risks to DOJ or individuals. Such cooperation includes, but is not limited to, providing to DOJ full access to any facility and/or Information System affected or potentially affected the breah or potential breach, and to undertake any and all response actions DOJ determines are required to ensure the protection of DOJ Information, including providing all requested images, log files, and event information to facilitate rapid resolution of sensitive information incidents. The vendor further agrees that it shall be responsible for all costs and related resource allocations that DOJ deems required for all such response activities related to any breach.
