JOFOC May 2023-April 2024 Signed.pdf

This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document for comprehensive medical services at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Berlin, New Hampshire. The document justifies sole-source procurement from Integrated Medical Services (IMS) for the period of 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 will continue providing essential medical, dental, and mental health services to federal inmates through their established network of local medical facilities and physicians. IMS has agreed to maintain their previous Medicare benchmark rates from contract DJBP021800000097. The Bureau of Prisons determined that only IMS can provide immediate continuity of care while the Field Acquisition Office (FAO) works on a new competitive acquisition. The document notes that any disruption in medical services would pose serious risks to the inmate population and facility operations. The JOFOC was signed and approved by multiple officials in March-April 2023, including the Supervisory Contract Specialist, Health Services Administrator, Warden, and Field Acquisition Office leadership.
