- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), located in Bethesda, MD, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Ovid Technologies located in Sandy, UT for electronic license renewal to online medical journals for USU and the Joint Pathology Center (JPC). This membership will be procured in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 12-Commercial Items and FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures. 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, equipment and institutional memberships 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. Ovid helps researchers, librarians, clinicians, and other healthcare professionals find important medical information so that they can make critical decisions to improve patient care, enhance ongoing research, and fuel new discoveries. They offer a market-leading medical research platform of premium aggregated content and productivity tools that make it easy to quickly search information and make informed decisions on patient care, quality, and clinical outcomes. The world's leading academic institutions and thousands of their users rely on Ovid for the most efficient, trusted solution that transforms research into results to help improve patient care. Ovid is part of Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information, business intelligence and point-of-care solutions for the healthcare industry. Ovid's simultaneous user model enables us to subscribe to only one concurrent user for less frequently used journals and multiple users for titles that are more popular. USU is able to maintain access to purchased content even if a subscription is subsequently dropped. The list of Ovid titles is attached. 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 electronic licenses 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 to carolyn.randolph@usuhs.edu by 5:00 p.m. EST on 16 September 2013.
