Eligibility / Set-Aside
This action is justified under FAR DEVIATION 6.103-1, which permits an award to an "Only One Responsible Source" when no other supplies or services can meet the agency's requirements without interruption. This is not a competitive solicitation; therefore, no traditional set-aside applies.
Evaluation
This document is a justification for a sole-source award and not a solicitation for proposals. The BOP has determined NaphCare, Inc. is the only responsible source capable of providing these services without a lapse, preventing serious injury or harm to the Government.
Additional Notes
Market research is ongoing for a future competitive award for CMS, which is anticipated to be awarded by June 30, 2026. A notice for the competitive opportunity will be publicized as required by FAR Part 5.
