USP McCreary Comp Medical JOFOC July FY 2026

The contract pertains to the provision of Comprehensive Medical Services at the United States Penitentiary McCreary in Pine Knot, Kentucky, for a one-month interim period from July 1, 2025, to July 31, 2025, with an estimated value of $500,000. This is a sole-source acquisition justified under FAR Deviation 6.103-1(b), “Only One Responsible Source,” with the incumbent contractor, Seven Corners, Inc., uniquely positioned to ensure uninterrupted medical care due to its existing infrastructure, pre-cleared personnel, and five-year operational history at the facility. The services include inpatient and outpatient medical, dental, and mental health care, as well as specialty services such as dermatology, neurology, orthopedics, psychology, and optometry, delivered both on-site and through community-based providers using prior Medicare benchmark pricing under firm-fixed-unit-price purchase orders. No competitive process is conducted, as market research confirmed no other responsible sources can meet the operational need without risking patient safety or institutional stability. Critical special requirements include mandatory security clearance packages for all providers, which Seven Corners has already fulfilled, eliminating the 60–90 day processing delays typical of new vendors. The Federal Bureau of Prisons, under the Department of Justice, issued the justification from its Field Acquisition Office in Grand Prairie, Texas, with Richard Hammond as the certifying official. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, inspection criteria, payment details, or technical specifications are delineated, and no representations or certifications from the contractor are included. The acquisition serves as a temporary measure until a future competitive contract for medical services is awarded, with the current arrangement deemed essential to avoid life-threatening disruptions in inmate healthcare.
