- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), located on the Naval Support Activity in Bethesda, MD, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Ancare Corporation, located in Bellmore, NY, for Seven (7) ACS-DS4 Dual Access Animal Changing Stations (4 Ft). Ancare Corporation is the only known source that can provide the requested animal changing stations. 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. This equipment 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. USU currently has five of the Ancare ACS-DS4 changing stations being utilized by the Department of Laboratory and Animal Medicine (LAM). Having uniform equipment increases efficiency and productivity in the labs. LAM personnel are already trained on how to use the Ancare ACS-DS4. The ten (10) animal changing stations currently housed at USU were procured under order HU0001-08-M-V788 and HU0001-10-M-V119. The order was awarded on a competitive basis.
