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 Medhub, Inc., located in Dexter, MI for a one (1) subscription for MedHub.
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.
Within the past 2 years, the ACGME has implemented additional institutional and program requirements such as the annual program evaluation (APE) and the annual institutional report (AIR) which necessitate much greater monitoring and reporting of self-study measures and outcomes, institutional oversight, meticulous data collection and real-time program-to-institution interactivity. USU currently uses E*Value and the current E*Value functionalities and platform don't support the new requirements as efficiently or effectively as MedHub. Additionally, MedHub and E*Value are owned and operated by the same parent company, and a transition to MedHub would allow roughly 1000 GME leaders, faculty, and administrators to retain access to 9 years of historical data that may be arduous and costly, if not impossible to extract in mass if we were to convert to New Innovations or another system.

Medhub, Inc. 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 ([email protected]) by 3:00 p.m. EST on March 16, 2017.
