Description

JOFOC for DME Jur.C This justification is to obtain approval for CMS to issue a sole source contract for two six-month periods for Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contract (DME MAC) in Jurisdiction C (JC) to allow time to conclude the procurement efforts that are currently in process for this Jurisdiction. The first six-month period will allow time to award a new contract, and the second six-month period will be exercised, if necessary, to allow time to transition the work. This justification for other than full and open competition is predicated on the understanding that CMS is currently engaged in a full and open competition in accordance with Section 1874A of the Social Security Act and with Federal Acquisition Requirements for the work performed by the DME MAC in Jurisdiction C (see FedBizOps solicitation RFP-CMS-2011-0006, J-01 SOW). The solicitation for this contract was issued a full 12 months before contract end. However, the procurement award decision has been delayed and is not expected before the end of the CGS' current contract. A six month extension in accordance with FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services was executed and the period of performance ended on June 30, 2012. Therefore, based on the compelling urgency that Medicare claims administration work cannot be disrupted, CMS must take action to continue the work with CGS.
