The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Field Acquisition Office is conducting market research for optometrist services at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) Brooklyn. The government seeks to secure one optometrist to provide medical services to adults in custody, with a contract structure of one base year and four optional twelve-month extensions. Key qualifications include a minimum of 15 years of professional experience, a current New York professional license, and demonstrated ability to work with diverse populations. The optometrist will be responsible for conducting 40-45 scheduled eye examinations per eight-session day, utilizing the Bureau of Prisons' Electronic Medical Record system. Potential vendors must complete a comprehensive Market Research Questionnaire addressing business capabilities, certifications, insurance, and operational readiness by the response deadline of June 23, 2025.

The solicitation does not include a specific small business set-aside, though it uses NAICS code 621320 with a small business size standard of $9 million in gross revenues. The work will be performed at MDC Brooklyn, located at 80 29th Street, with a standard work schedule of 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. While no specific award value is mentioned, the contract will require the optometrist to diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, and complete comprehensive eye examinations for the facility's inmate population. The government's market research process will evaluate potential vendors' ability to meet the detailed requirements outlined in the draft Statement of Work. Interested contractors should carefully review the Market Research Questionnaire and provide thorough documentation of their qualifications and operational capabilities.
