Description

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), the DoD Medical School and Health Services University, proposes to award on a sole source basis a contract to the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HMJF) to provide personnel, supplies, equipment, and all services necessary to support a research project entitled "Enhancement Through Operational Research of the U.S. Army's Global Preventive Medicine Program." This project is to be funded by the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM). The anticipated contract is to be a cost-reimbursable no-fee type with an estimated value of $5-6 million per year for a period of performance of five years. This contract is being awarded as a follow-on to a research grant awarded by USUHS to HMJF for initial research in this arena. This prior grant uniquely positioned HMJF for this award with minimal start up costs and lead time and is in compliance with Public Law 92-426, entitled "Uniformed Services Health Professions Revitalization Act of 1972" and 10 U.S.C. 178 and 2213(j)(1)(A), which authorize USUHS to award contracts on a sole source basis to the HMJF. The authority for this award permitting other than full and open competition is found at 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(5), "Authorized or Required by Statute." See Note 22.
