JOFOC May 2023-April 2024 Signed.pdf

This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for comprehensive medical services at FCI Berlin in New Hampshire. The document justifies the sole-source procurement of medical services from Integrated Medical Services (IMS) for the period May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024, with an estimated total cost of $660,000.

The Bureau of Prisons requires continued comprehensive medical services including inpatient/outpatient facility services, physician services, and optometry services for the inmate population at FCI Berlin. IMS, as the incumbent provider, has agreed to maintain their previous Medicare benchmark rates and continue services while the Field Acquisition Office (FAO) works toward a competitive acquisition. The justification cites the immediate need to maintain continuity of care and IMS's established network of local medical facilities and physicians as reasons for the sole-source award. The requirement will be publicized through the Governmentwide point of entry, and the FAO is actively working on a competitive procurement for future services. The rates were previously awarded under competitive contract DJBP021800000097 and have been deemed fair and reasonable.
