Summary

This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons, for a Comprehensive Medical Services (CMS) contract supporting the Federal Detention Center (FDC) in Miami, Florida. The Federal Bureau of Prisons is seeking to continue services with Larkin Community Hospital through an interim acquisition period from May 1, 2026, through July 31, 2026, with an estimated total cost of $900,000. The procurement will be conducted as a single-source award under FAR DEVIATION 6.103-1(b), which permits "Only One Responsible Source" acquisitions when no other supplies or services meet agency requirements.

The justification establishes that Larkin Community Hospital is the sole provider uniquely qualified to ensure seamless service delivery for inpatient and outpatient medical services, including specialties such as optometry and oral surgery, without any lapse in performance. The contractor has provided services for over five years through an established network of local medical facilities and physicians and continues to provide onsite outpatient services. The interim contract will utilize firm fixed-unit pricing based on prior Medicare benchmark rates from option year four of contract 15B31019D0000001, which have been determined fair and reasonable. The Field Acquisition Office will conduct a competitive market solicitation to award a new indefinite delivery/requirements CMS contract by July 31, 2026, after which full and open competition will be required for future acquisitions.
