JOFOC ACH August.pdf

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

The Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons at FCI Cumberland is seeking to acquire comprehensive medical services for its inmate population through a sole source acquisition from ACH (American Correctional Healthcare). The required services include inpatient/outpatient facility and physician services, as well as outpatient institutional services of dentistry, dietician, pharmacy, and optometry. Services will be procured via purchase orders for the performance period of August 1, 2026, through August 31, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $240,000.00. The justification for sole source acquisition is based on ACH's unique qualifications and the incumbent contractor's continued service at the previously negotiated rates. The memorandum emphasizes that ACH is the only provider capable of ensuring seamless service delivery without lapses in performance, which is critical to maintaining continuity of care and avoiding disruption to institutional operations and inmate medical services. The technical certification was completed by the Health Services Administrator, and the contracting officer, Brian Logsdon, certified the justification on July 29, 2026.
