Quick Summary
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), under the Department of Justice, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Comprehensive Medical Services (CMS) at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Edgefield, SC. This interim, sole-source award to NaphCare, Inc. covers services from May 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026, with an estimated cost of $498,000.00.
Scope of Work
This JOFOC covers the provision of comprehensive medical, dental, and mental health care for the inmate population at FCI Edgefield. Services include both community and institution-based care, encompassing inpatient and outpatient facility and physician services, as well as referrals to community providers when institutional staff cannot meet the need.
Contract & Timeline
- Contract Type: Interim acquisition via monthly firm-fixed-unit-price purchase orders.
- Incumbent Contractor: NaphCare, Inc.
- Period of Performance: May 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026.
- Estimated Total Cost: $498,000.00.
- Published Date: April 30, 2026.
- Set-Aside: None specified (sole source justification).
Justification for Sole Source
The decision to award to NaphCare, Inc. without full and open competition is based on:
- Urgency: To prevent disruption of timely medical care for inmates.
- Unique Qualifications: NaphCare, Inc. is the incumbent with over five years of experience and an established medical network, ensuring seamless service delivery.
- Transition Time: A minimum 30-day service commencement period and additional time for security clearances would cause unacceptable delays if a new provider were selected.
- Fair & Reasonable Pricing: Rates are consistent with the prior competitively awarded contract's option year four.
Future Actions
The Field Acquisition Office is actively pursuing a competitive award for a new CMS contract, which is anticipated to be in place by June 30, 2026. This interim JOFOC is necessary to bridge the gap until the competitive contract is awarded. A notice for the competitive opportunity will be publicized as required by FAR Part 5.
