JOFOC May 2023-April 2024 Signed.pdf

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

The justification cites IMS as the incumbent provider who has agreed to maintain their previous Medicare benchmark rates. The services include inpatient/outpatient facility care, physician services, and optometry services for the inmate population. The document states that IMS has been the incumbent for over five years and maintains an established network of local medical facilities and physicians. While the Field Acquisition Office (FAO) is working toward a competitive acquisition, this interim sole-source award is deemed necessary to maintain continuity of care and prevent disruption of medical services. The requirement will be publicized through the Governmentwide point of entry, and IMS will continue services at the same rates as defined in contract DJBP021800000097 until a new competitive contract can be awarded.
