SHE JOFOC Comprehensive Medical Services (Aug 2026 - Sept 2026).pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) submitted by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Field Acquisition Office, for Comprehensive Medical Services (CMS) at Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Sheridan in Sheridan, Oregon.

The BOP seeks to continue CMS delivery with the incumbent contractor, Integrated Medical Services (IMS), under a single-source acquisition authority per FAR DEVIATION 6.103-1(b). The proposed period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through September 30, 2026, with an estimated total cost of $540,273.36. Services include inpatient and outpatient facility and physician services, as well as outpatient institution services in specialties such as general surgery and optometry. IMS will continue providing services at rates consistent with option year four of contract 15B61220D00000001, which were established under competitive conditions and deemed fair and reasonable. The justification cites the urgent nature of healthcare delivery, the necessity of uninterrupted medical services to the inmate population, and the time constraints associated with transitioning to a new provider (typically requiring a minimum 30-day service commencement period plus 30-60 days for security clearance investigations). IMS's established medical network, five-year history of service delivery, existing provider credentials and background clearances, and capability to provide seamless service delivery without performance lapses support the single-source determination. The BOP will publicly advertise a competitive solicitation for an indefinite delivery/requirements CMS contract with Firm Fixed Unit Pricing through the Field Acquisition Office, at which time justification for other than full and open competition will no longer be necessary.
