- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), located in Bethesda, MD, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Thompson Reuters (TR) for the purchase of a subscription to TS Doc for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). This service 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 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. Thompson Reuters' document delivery service is an add-on to services TR already provides to DTRA. Unique features that DTRA requires and TS Doc provides are: •Both an in-house collection (paper and electronic) and direct publisher agreements allowing for retrieval from publisher websites. •Document delivery for most documents in less than 5 minutes. •TS Doc supports both the CCC Annual Copyright License and the CLA License. •Combines content management, copyright clearance and document delivery, linking users to subscriptions, creating a document repository, and supplying PDF copies of fulltext documents. •Individual, Division, and Department-Level accounting information and usage rates to establish precise spend rates at monthly time periods. •Front-end search capability of Abstracts. Thompson Reuters 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 5:00 p.m. EST on September 18, 2013.
