Comprehensive Medical Services USP Atwater

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC)

This document justifies the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) procurement of Comprehensive Medical Services (CMS) for USP Atwater, California, using other than full and open competition. The BOP has determined that only one responsible source, Seven Corners (the incumbent contractor), is capable of providing these services without interruption, which is necessary to prevent serious injury, financial loss, or significant harm to the Government.

• Continuation of community and institution-based comprehensive medical services.

• Services include inpatient and outpatient facility and physician services, as well as outpatient services in specialties such as ENT, General Surgery, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Psychiatry, Urology, Optometry, and Oral Surgery.

• Seven Corners will provide services at their prior Medicare benchmark rates through monthly firm-fixed-unit-price purchase orders.

• Period of Performance: June 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026.

• Estimated Total Cost: $203,965.00.

• This is an interim acquisition pending the award of a new, competitively awarded CMS contract.

• This document is a justification for other than full and open competition, not a solicitation for proposals.

• The Field Acquisition Office (FAO) is currently evaluating proposals for a new indefinite delivery/requirements contract with Firm Fixed Unit Pricing.

• Not applicable, as this is a justification for sole-source procurement.

• Seven Corners has been the incumbent for over five years and has an established network of local medical facilities and physicians.

• Market research confirms that while comprehensive medical services are available, Seven Corners is uniquely qualified to ensure seamless service delivery without a lapse.

• Soliciting offers from additional sources is deemed impracticable due to the critical need for uninterrupted services and the time required for security clearances and service commencement (minimum 30 days each).

• A notice will be publicized as required by FAR Part 5.

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC)

This document justifies the Federal Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) procurement of Comprehensive Medical Services (CMS) for USP Atwater, California, using other than full and open competition. The BOP has determined that only one responsible source, Seven Corners (the incumbent contractor), is capable of providing these services without interruption, which is necessary to prevent serious injury, financial loss, or significant harm to the Government.

The agency requires comprehensive medical services for the inmate population, including essential medical, dental, and mental health care. This includes inpatient and outpatient facility and physician services, as well as specialized outpatient services (e.g., ENT, General Surgery, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Psychiatry, Urology, Optometry, Oral Surgery). This interim acquisition is essential to maintain uninterrupted medical services while a new CMS contract is competitively awarded.

• Period of Performance: March 1, 2026, through May 31, 2026.

• Estimated Total Cost: $611,897.82.

• Contract Type: Interim acquisition via monthly firm-fixed-unit-price purchase orders until a new contract is awarded. The subsequent competitive contract is anticipated to be an indefinite delivery/requirements contract with Firm Fixed Unit Pricing.

• Incumbent Capability: Seven Corners, as the incumbent for over five years, has an established network of local medical facilities and physicians, and has already completed provider credentialing and background clearances.

• Urgency: Immediate availability of community-based healthcare services is crucial to prevent disruption and ensure orderly operation. Transitioning to a new administrator typically requires significant lead time for service commencement and security clearances.

• Market Research: While market research indicates comprehensive medical services are commonly available, Seven Corners is identified as the only provider uniquely qualified to ensure seamless service delivery without any lapse.

• No Other Sources: No other sources with the ability to provide services immediately, without a lapse in service, have expressed written interest.

• This document is a justification for not soliciting offers from multiple sources for this interim period. A notice will be publicized as required by FAR Part 5.

• The Field Acquisition Office is currently evaluating proposals for a new, competitively awarded CMS contract.

• Not applicable for this interim justification, as it is sole-source. The subsequent contract award will be competitively sought.

• The current rates are consistent with option year four of contract 15B61819D00000001 and have been deemed fair and reasonable.

• The Contracting Officer certifies the justification is accurate and complete.
