Q -- National Medical Managed Care

The Office of the Federal Detention Trustee (OFDT) on behalf of the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Office Interagency Medical Services (OIMS) has a requirement to procure an integrated health care system to augment the services provided through State and local detention facilities. The Office of Interagency Medical Services (OIMS) works to assure that the health care provided to the USMS prisoners housed within 95 USMS District Offices and approximately 200 District Sub-offices is consistent with established Prisoner Health Care Standards (PHCS) guidelines described in USMS Publication Number 100 (http://www.usmarshals.gov/prisoner/standards.htm). OIMS supports the USMS mission by arranging the most clinically appropriate and cost effective health care services with goals focusing on cost, quality, and accessibility to health care services provided outside of the detention facility. On average, the USMS spends approximately $52 million per year for medical services delivered to prisoners by community medical care providers outside the walls of detention facilities, of which $22.5 million is subject to re-pricing of medical claims. Additionally, the USMS spends approximately $9 million a year on prescriptions drugs. The OFDT intends to award a fixed-price type contract. The contract will have a potential term of 10 years consisting of one four-year base period and two three-year option periods. Contract performance will be governed by a performance-based statement of work. The OFDT anticipates issuing the solicitation on or about November 14, 2006 with an estimated response date of January 8, 2007. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the OFDT. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for December 5, 2006 from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm Eastern Standard Time. The address is: 1750 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA, 22202 All parties will assemble in the lobby area of the Crystal Square 3 Building. All individuals must pre-register for this conference.
