- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) is the Nation's federal health sciences university and is committed to excellence in military medicine and public health during peace and war. We provide the Nation with health professionals dedicated to career service in the Department of Defense and the United States Public Health Service and with scientists who serve the common good. We serve the uniformed services and the Nation as an outstanding academic health sciences center with a worldwide perspective for education, research, service, and consultation; we are unique in relating these activities to military medicine, disaster medicine, and military medical readiness. USU is located in Bethesda, MD on the grounds of the Naval Support Activity Bethesda. USU intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Moderas, located in Schenectady, NY for Kuali COEUS consulting services These services 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. USU implemented Kuali COEUS in 2015 as a research management tool and replacement for the COEUS system. USU intends to procure software development services in support of the VPR use of Kuali COEUS. Moderas supported the migration of the COEUS system to Kuali COEUS in 2015. They possess the most current understanding of the system and the data structure. The company wrote the migration scripts necessary to move the data from COEUS to Kuali COEUS. Contracting with a different vendor will mean the new vendor will consume consulting hours examining the data, reporting tools and USU's implementation of the system. Selection of Moderas will enable USU to leverage current knowledge and limit redundant work resulting in a lower cost to continued development and implementation. As a result of their collaboration and support in configuring the current COEUS system, developing migration and reporting tools and providing implementation consulting, Moderas is the only source that can provide the requested services in the most advantageous way to the government. Thus we are treating this as a follow-on contract. 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 (carolyn.randolph@usuhs.edu) by 5:00 p.m. EST on September 8, 2015.
