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 Pharmacist Services at FCI Sheridan, OR. This interim acquisition ensures uninterrupted services from Ghost Rx from June 1 to June 30, 2026, while a new competitive Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is being pursued.
Purpose & Scope
This JOFOC justifies the procurement of essential Pharmacist Services for the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Sheridan, Oregon. The BOP requires continuous community and institution-based pharmacist services, including inpatient and outpatient facility and physician services, to prevent serious injury, financial loss, or other significant harm to the Government. This interim contract is necessary to maintain seamless service delivery pending the award of a new, competitively solicited BPA for medical services.
Contract Details

- Period of Performance: June 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026
- Estimated Cost: $9,188.48

Justification & Eligibility
This action is justified under FAR DEVIATION 6.103-1, allowing for an award to "Only One Responsible Source." Ghost Rx has been the incumbent contractor for over five years and is deemed uniquely qualified to ensure uninterrupted service delivery due to their established network and completed provider credentialing, preventing any lapse in critical healthcare services.
Next Steps
