Quick Summary
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), specifically MDC Los Angeles, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Comprehensive Medical Services. This notice confirms the intent to award an interim contract to IMS, INC., the incumbent provider, to ensure uninterrupted medical care for the inmate population from May 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026. This is not a solicitation for new proposals.
Purpose & Scope
This JOFOC justifies the non-competitive procurement of essential community and institution-based comprehensive medical services, including medical, dental, mental health, inpatient, outpatient, and optometry services. The interim acquisition is critical to prevent a lapse in healthcare delivery while the Field Acquisition Office (FAO) evaluates proposals for a new, competitively awarded CMS contract. IMS, INC. is deemed the only responsible source capable of providing these services without interruption.
Contract Details
- Type: Interim Firm-Fixed-Unit-Price Purchase Orders
- Incumbent: IMS, INC.
- Period of Performance: May 1, 2026 – June 30, 2026
- Estimated Total Cost: $791,598.00
- Pricing: IMS has agreed to continue services at rates consistent with option year four of their existing contract, which were determined fair and reasonable.
- Place of Performance: Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) Los Angeles, CA 90012
Set-Aside & Eligibility
This justification is based on the unique qualifications of the incumbent contractor, IMS, INC., to ensure seamless service delivery. No set-aside applies to this specific interim award. A new, competitive CMS contract is currently being processed, and market research is ongoing for that future award.
Additional Notes
This is a justification notice, not a request for proposals. Interested parties should monitor SAM.gov for future solicitations related to the new, competitively awarded Comprehensive Medical Services contract for MDC Los Angeles. Contact Julia Porter at j2porter@bop.gov for inquiries.
