According to the OPM website (as well as the FSBP website), FSBP is one of the choices (albiet restricted to FS people) under FEHB program. It isn't unique in being restricted. For example, Special Agent Mutual Benefit Assoc is limited to current and retired federal law enforcement agencies.
Take a close look at providers under your current program in this area. If you are serious about The Villages, you may be much better off with Blue. You can switch at retirement if you wish irrespective of open period (as a life event). While rates among the FEHB plans, they are relatively close and you will probably pay about the same for BC standard as FSB.
