Non-Competitive Memorandum for Simplified Acquisition Actions

This is a Non-Competitive Memorandum for Simplified Acquisition Actions under IAW FAR 13.101-3(b) justifying a sole source acquisition.

The Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons, FCI Cumberland is procuring comprehensive medical services for the inmate population through a sole source acquisition from incumbent contractor American Correctional Healthcare, Inc. (ACH). The services encompass inpatient/outpatient facility and physician services, as well as outpatient institution services provided by dentists, dietitians, pharmacists, and optometrists. The performance period runs from June 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $160,000.00. The justification for sole source award cites ACH's established medical infrastructure, continuity of care requirements, and demonstrated ability to provide seamless healthcare delivery without service disruption. The memorandum notes that while comprehensive medical services are available in the commercial marketplace from multiple vendors, ACH is the only provider capable of ensuring seamless service delivery without operational lapses, making it in the Government's best interest to continue the relationship pending competitive award of a CMS contract. The statutory authority for this non-competitive action is 41 U.S.C. 253 and 41 U.S.C. 1901(e). The document was signed by Contracting Officer Brian Logsdon on May 28, 2026.
