JOFOC ACH March 2026.pdf

This is a Non-Competitive Memorandum for Simplified Acquisition Actions under FAR 13.101-3(b), justifying a sole source acquisition by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons at FCI Cumberland.

The acquisition covers comprehensive medical services for the inmate population, including inpatient/outpatient facility and physician services, as well as outpatient services from dentists, dieticians, pharmacists, and optometrists. The estimated contract value is $250,000.00, with a performance period from March 1, 2026, through March 31, 2026. The justification for sole source procurement cites the incumbent contractor's unique qualifications and the critical nature of healthcare service continuity. American Correctional Healthcare (ACH) is identified as the incumbent provider whose comprehensive medical contract has expired. The memorandum emphasizes that ACH's established network of local medical facilities and physicians is essential to avoid disruption in obtaining necessary medical services and to ensure orderly institutional operations. The Government determined that ACH is the only provider capable of delivering seamless service without lapses and that no other qualified sources have expressed written interest in the acquisition. The document includes technical certification by Justin Sines, Health Services Administrator, and contracting officer certification.
