Request for Information - Comprehensive Medical Services

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has issued a Request for Information regarding its Comprehensive Medical Services contract structure that supports BOP institutions nationwide. This Special Notice, published by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons on August 26, 2025, is classified under the General Medical and Surgical Hospitals NAICS category and Medical-Managed Healthcare PSC category. The RFI is not a solicitation and will not result in any contract awards. Instead, it serves as a market research tool to gather industry input on potential improvements to current medical service delivery models. The government has made clear that participation is voluntary and that responding organizations will not be reimbursed for costs associated with preparing submissions.

The primary objective of this RFI is to collect industry feedback on six key areas including alternative pricing structures, capitated rate methodologies, feasibility of regional or combined contracts, viability of 10-year contract terms, recommended contract modifications, and helicopter emergency medical services pricing approaches. Interested industry partners must submit electronic PDF responses limited to 20 pages or 14 megabytes by September 26, 2025, to Jared Hamblin at jhamblin@bop.gov. Submissions should include company details, relevant NAICS codes, and business information. There are no specific eligibility criteria mentioned for participation, making this opportunity broadly accessible to qualified medical service providers. The BOP emphasizes that responses may be subject to Freedom of Information Act disclosure requirements and that the information gathered will be used solely for planning purposes to inform potential future procurement strategies for medical services across federal prison facilities.
