Quick Summary
The Department of Justice, Federal Prison System / Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Comprehensive Medical Services (CMS) at FCI Phoenix, Arizona. This JOFOC seeks approval to continue services with the incumbent contractor, Naphcare, on an interim basis to prevent service disruption while a new competitive CMS contract is processed.
Scope of Work
This interim requirement covers the provision of Comprehensive Medical Services for the inmate population at FCI Phoenix, ensuring continuous and critical healthcare delivery.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for an interim contract.
- Duration: Interim period from June 1, 2026, through June 30, 2026.
- Estimated Cost: $235,527.34 for the interim period.
- Set-Aside: Not applicable for this JOFOC (limited competition for interim); the subsequent requirement will be publicly advertised.

Rationale & Future Action
This JOFOC is necessary due to a protest on the pending award of a new CMS contract, which necessitates an interim solution to avoid a lapse in critical medical services. The incumbent, Naphcare, is deemed uniquely qualified for this interim period due to their established network and existing clearances. Market research is ongoing, and the subsequent, long-term CMS requirement will be publicly advertised for full and open competition.
