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 award to Integrated Medical Services (IMS) for continuation of comprehensive medical services from May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024, with an estimated total cost of $660,000.

The justification explains that IMS is the incumbent provider and has agreed to maintain their previous Medicare benchmark rates while the Field Acquisition Office (FAO) works on a competitive acquisition. The services include inpatient/outpatient facility care, physician services, and optometry services for the inmate population. IMS has been the incumbent for over five years and maintains an established network of local medical facilities and physicians. The document cites the immediate need to maintain continuity of care and avoid disruption of medical services as the reason for the sole-source award, noting that any delay would significantly impact the institution's medical mission and patient care. The requirement will be publicized through the Governmentwide point of entry, and a competitive contract is being processed by the FAO for future services.
