- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) located in Bethesda, MD on the National Naval Medical Campus, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, a 12 month base year award plus 2 additional option years with EBSCO Industries, 10 Estes Street, Ipswich, MA 01938 (175745595), for an institutional subscription to the Biomedical Reference Collection, Alt HealthWatch, Psychology and Behavorial Sciences Collection and Cinahl with Full Text. This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures, as stated in FAR 13.106(b)(1) as well as the Federal Supply Schedule procedures, as stated in FAR Part 8.405-6. All but one database is available on Federal Supply Schedule. There will be one award. The North American Industry Classification System Code is 519130. Statutory Authority: FAR Part 13.106(b)(1) (b) Soliciting from a single source. (1) For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization). FAR Part 8.405-6 (a) Orders placed under Federal Supply Schedules are exempt from the requirements in Part 6. However, an ordering activity must justify its action when restricting consideration- (2) To an item peculiar to one manufacturer (e.g., a particular brand name, product or feature of a product, peculiar to one manufacturer). Online access to the databases is extremely beneficial to researchers who require access to many of the titles in the databases. It is also cost effective for USUHS to subscribe to the database instead of individually subscribing to each individual collection. The sole source determination is based on EBSCO Industries being the sole business that offers these collections of journals. This is the only source known to USUHS which can meet this requirement. This is not a request for quotes and a solicitation package will not be issued. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will be considered. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to Timothy.Bunting@usuhs.mil. The expected period of performance begins on September 30, 2008.
