JOFOC May 2023-April 2024 Signed.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for comprehensive medical services at FCI Berlin, submitted by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The justification approves the acquisition and continuation of community and institution-based comprehensive medical services with Integrated Medical Services (IMS) for the period May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024, with an estimated total cost of $660,000.

The document explains that IMS is the incumbent provider and has agreed to honor their previous Medicare benchmark rates for CMS services. The services include inpatient/outpatient facility and physician services, as well as outpatient optometry services for the inmate population. The justification cites FAR 6.302-1 "Only One Responsible Source" as the authority for the sole-source award, stating that IMS's established network of local medical facilities and physicians is critical to avoid disruption of care. The Field Acquisition Office (FAO) is currently working on a competitive acquisition, but this interim sole-source contract is needed to maintain continuity of medical services while that process is completed. The requirement will be publicized through the governmentwide point of entry, and IMS will continue providing services at the same rates as defined in contract DJBP021800000097.
