Quick Summary
The Department of Justice, Bureau of Prisons (BOP), specifically FCI Ashland, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Comprehensive Medical Services for inmates. This is a sole source acquisition valued at $188,000.00 for the period of August 1, 2026, through August 31, 2026. The purpose is to ensure continuity of care while a new multi-year competitive contract is being negotiated.
Purpose & Justification
This document serves as a Non-Competitive Memorandum for Simplified Acquisition Actions, justifying a sole source award for comprehensive medical services at FCI Ashland. The BOP requires these services to meet the healthcare needs of the inmate population when institutional medical staff cannot provide them. The acquisition is justified under FAR 13.101-3(b) and 41 U.S.C. 253; 41 U.S.C. 1901(e).
Scope of Services
