Q -- Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Purchase Order to University of North Carolina Hospitals

The Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, plans to issue a firm-fixed price, sole source purchase order to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. This non-competitive procurement is intended to address specific healthcare service needs that cannot be met under the existing comprehensive medical contract at the Federal Correctional Complex in Butner. The action is being carried out without a competitive bidding process, with the goal of leveraging the unique capabilities of Duke University Medical Center to fulfill specialized medical requirements. Although this notice does not solicit competitive quotes, the government will consider any relevant information submitted within five working days of the notice's publication to determine whether a competitive procurement is necessary. The contracting office handling this purchase is located at FCC-Butner, and Lori Spruill serves as the contract specialist, available to receive questions or information via mail, fax, or email. This arrangement aims to ensure uninterrupted access to critical healthcare services for the Federal Correctional Complex population by utilizing the expertise of a sole source provider.
