    JOFOC JOINT Accreditation.docx
    The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Joint Accreditation services, citing that only one responsible source can meet their needs. This accreditation allows the BOP Health Services Division to offer Continuing Professional Medical Education (CPME) credits to licensed medical providers across various professions, including dentists, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, psychologists, and social workers. Previously, the BOP paid individual accreditation bodies, but Joint Accreditation streamlines this process into a single, unified application and fee structure. The estimated value of this requirement is not expected to exceed $34,000. Market research confirmed that Joint Accreditation, encompassing ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC, is the sole entity providing the comprehensive accreditation needed to satisfy state licensing and professional board requirements for BOP providers. Efforts to solicit other sources, including publicizing a Notice of Intent on sam.gov in current and prior years, yielded no interested parties. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, aligning with past pricing. This sole-source justification is based on the unique ability of Joint Accreditation to provide a consolidated accreditation that meets the diverse needs of the BOP's medical professionals.
