JOFOC 12-25-0012 CMS FDC Miami - (Approved).pdf

This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for comprehensive medical services at the Federal Detention Center (FDC) Miami. The document requests approval to award a sole-source contract to Larkin Community Hospital for the period of February 7, 2025 through January 31, 2026, with an estimated value of $4,449,100.

The justification explains that Larkin is the incumbent provider and has agreed to continue services at the same Medicare benchmark rates from the previous contract until a new competitive contract can be awarded. The services include inpatient/outpatient facility care, physician services, optometry, oral surgery, and other medical services for the Adults in Custody (AIC) population. The Field Acquisition Office (FAO) is currently working on a competitive acquisition package, but this interim sole-source award is deemed necessary to maintain continuity of critical medical care without disruption. Larkin has been the incumbent for over five years and maintains an established network of local medical facilities and physicians that can provide immediate services, which was a key factor in the sole-source justification.
