SHE JOFOC Comprehensive Medical Services (Oct 2026 - Dec 2026).pdf

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

The BOP seeks to award an interim contract to Integrated Medical Services (IMS), the incumbent contractor, for community-based comprehensive medical services through December 31, 2026, with an estimated total cost of $810,410.04. The procurement is justified under FAR DEVIATION 6.103-1(b) on a single-source basis, citing IMS as the only provider capable of ensuring seamless service delivery without disruption to the inmate population's access to critical medical care. IMS will continue providing services at rates consistent with option year four of the previous contract (15B61220D00000001) established under competitive conditions and deemed fair and reasonable. The interim arrangement is necessary because the FAO is actively pursuing a competitive CMS contract with indefinite delivery and requirements incorporating Firm Fixed Unit Pricing, anticipated for indefinite award. Services include inpatient and outpatient facility and physician services, as well as specialty outpatient services such as general surgery and optometry. Market research confirms that while comprehensive medical services are available from multiple vendors in the commercial marketplace, IMS is uniquely qualified to prevent service lapses due to its established medical network, five years of institutional experience, completed provider credentialing and background clearances, and the typical 30-60 day transition period required for new administrators. The Contracting Officer certifies the justification is accurate and complete, noting this action is not the result of inadequate acquisition planning.
