Quick Summary
The Bureau of Prisons (BOP), specifically FCI Cumberland, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for comprehensive medical services.

The estimated value for this period is $160,000.00.
Purpose & Scope
This JOFOC outlines the critical need for comprehensive medical, dental, and mental health services for inmates at FCI Cumberland. The services include inpatient/outpatient facility and physician services, as well as outpatient institution services from dentists, dieticians, pharmacists, and optometrists. The primary purpose is to maintain uninterrupted healthcare while a new contract is being negotiated.
