Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) FCI Pekin
Pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart DEVIATION 6.103-1(b), the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has determined the procurement of Comprehensive Medical Services (CMS) for the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), (hereinafter referred to as “institution”), located in Pekin, IL, meets the criteria for other than full and open competition. The agency has further determined that only one responsible source is capable of providing these services, and that awarding the contract to this source is necessary to prevent serious injury, financial loss, or other significant harm to the Government. This limitation on competition is justified as follows:

FAR DEVIATION 6.104-1(a)(2): Nature and/or description of the action being approved.
This action seeks approval for the continuation of community and institution-based comprehensive medical services with Integrated Medical Solutions LLC. As the incumbent contractor, IMS has agreed to continue providing CMS at its prior Medicare benchmark rates through monthly firm-fixed-unit-price purchase orders until a new CMS contract can be competitively awarded. This interim acquisition is essential to maintain uninterrupted medical services for the inmate population pending award of a new CMS contract.

The Field Acquisition Office (FAO) is actively pursuing award of a CMS contract. A Sources Sought Notice has been posted on the GPE, with an anticipated indefinite delivery/requirements contract incorporating Firm Fixed Unit Pricing to be awarded by September 30, 2027. Upon award of the competitive contract, further justification for other than full and open competition will no longer be necessary. 3.
