Fed-Opt

Fed-Opt, a for-profit partnership headquartered in Kane, Pennsylvania, provides on-site optometry services to federal correctional facilities as a prime contractor under Total Small Business set-asides and full-and-open competition, with 262 awards across the Bureau of Prisons system since 2003. The vendor competes predominantly under set-asides on single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with individual correctional facilities, though individual delivery orders are sometimes issued without set-aside designation under open competition. Fed-Opt's capability portfolio centers on inmate eye care: comprehensive optometry examinations, treatments, and prescriptions delivered on-site at federal facilities, with service specifications typically requiring 20–25 scheduled examinations per 8-hour session, five days per week, and contractor optometrists holding valid state licensure and a minimum of six months relevant experience.

Customer concentration is extreme and facility-specific. The top five Bureau of Prisons locations account for 49% of awards and 83% of combined potential value. Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood dominates both rankings at 55 awards valued at $1.2 million combined potential, followed by Federal Correctional Institution McKean (16 awards, $426 thousand), Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn (7 awards, $318 thousand), United States Penitentiary Lewisburg (49 awards, $230 thousand), and Federal Correctional Institution Elkton (2 awards, $52 thousand). The vendor's portfolio spans six distinct Bureau of Prisons locations stacked across Pennsylvania and New York. Fed-Opt holds two active single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts: one with Federal Correctional Complex Allenwood (ceiling $187.5 thousand, extended through April 30, 2029, awarded May 1, 2024, designated Total Small Business set-aside) and one with Federal Correctional Institution McKean (ceiling $120 thousand, running through March 31, 2027, awarded April 1, 2022, designated Total Small Business set-aside). Five delivery orders totaling $107.5 thousand have been issued under the Allenwood IDC; delivery orders under both IDCs range from approximately $12 thousand to $30 thousand annually with firm fixed-price terms.

The parent vehicle footprint reveals reliance on facility-specific IDCs. The top five IDCs account for 164 task orders and carry combined potential value of $606 thousand: IDC DJB20104034 (92 task orders, $137 thousand), IDC DJB20104065 (43 task orders, $165 thousand), IDC 15B20119DUB150170 (10 task orders, $161 thousand), IDC DJB20704002 (10 task orders, $47 thousand), and IDC DJB20704022 (9 task orders, $96 thousand). Activity has remained relatively flat — five awards in 2022, three in 2023, five in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 — with two awards (combined potential value $54 thousand) facing recompete within the next twenty-four months. Category concentration is narrow: 250 awards fall under NAICS 541213 (Offices of Optometrists), with 227 mapped to PSC Medical-Optometry, reflecting the vendor's highly specialized positioning. Fed-Opt operates exclusively as a prime; the vendor carries no subcontractor role. Combined potential value across all 262 awards stands at $2.7 million, with $1.4 million obligated (52% of potential).
