Description
Sole Source Justification The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), located in Bethesda, MD, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), located in Chicago, Illinois to renew the University's accredited status for one year. This service will be procured in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 12-Commercial Items and FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures, to include FAR subpart 13.5. Sole source determination is made in accordance with: FAR Part 13.106-1 Soliciting Competition (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. The mission of USU is to provide the highest quality education programs in the health sciences to those selected individuals who demonstrate dedication to a health profession career in the Uniformed Services. As such, it is essential USU provide the necessary training and equipment required for our students to become successful doctors and nurses and to be able to provide the best care possible for our soldiers and to support our research efforts. ACGME is recognized by the Federal Government for the accreditation of MD Medical Training Programs within the United States. The University teaches many of these ACGME-derived programs, and needs to remain accredited with ACGME in order to continue teaching these courses. No other accrediting bodies may offer access to these courses. ACGME is the only know source that can provided the requested service. This is not a request for quotes and a solicitation package will not be issued. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide the abovementioned requirement as specified. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contractual action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the government. Responses must be received via email (pierre.smith@usuhs.edu) by 10:00 p.m. EST on July 1, 2012.
