ACH JOFOC NOV 26.pdf

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

The Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons at FCI Cumberland is acquiring comprehensive medical services for the inmate population through a sole source contract with American Correctional Healthcare, Inc. (ACH). The services include inpatient/outpatient facility and physician services, as well as dentist, dietitian, pharmacist, and optometrist services. The contract performance period runs from November 1, 2026, through November 30, 2026, with an estimated value of $170,000.00. The justification for sole sourcing cites ACH's unique qualifications and the nature of the acquisition, emphasizing that ACH's comprehensive medical contract has expired and continuity of care is critical. The memorandum argues that ACH is the only provider able to ensure seamless service delivery through its established network of local medical facilities and physicians without any lapse in performance. The document notes that while other vendors exist in the commercial marketplace, ACH's incumbent status and immediate availability make it the best interest of the Government. The contracting officer, Brian Logsdon, certified the justification on October 23, 2026.
