- 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 single source basis per FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1), a one-year service contract with Informa Healthcare, 52 Vanderbilt Avenue, Floor 17, New York, NY 10017, (790639087), for an annual subscription to Informa Healthcare’s eBook collection. This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures, as stated in FAR 13.106(b)(1) and in accordance with FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items). The North American Industry Classification System Code is 511120. Statutory Authority: 13.106-1(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). USUHS has determined that Informa Healthcare is the only reasonably available source to meet the government’s requirement. Informa Healthcare is the publisher and sole provider to electronic access its eBook Collection. Access to these subscriptions is required by faculty, students and researchers for medical education, research, continuing education, and clinical care throughout USUHS. Access must be available everywhere that USUHS medical students, personnel, and contractors are able to access electronic resources. This is the only source known to USUHS which can meet this requirement. There were no other vendors located that could provide access to these electronic titles. 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 solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to Timothy.Bunting@usuhs.mil by 11:00 AM (EST) on March 31, 2010. The expected period of performance begins on April 2, 2010.
