- Description
- The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), located on the National Naval Medical Center (NNMC) in Bethesda, MD, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Oxford University Press for an outright purchase of their online Medicine Journal Archive. The awarded contract will be a one-time purchase. The contract will authorize the end-user unlimited access to the below-mentioned journals. This order is being procured in accordance with FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) and FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures). Funding is not yet available for this purchase. FAR Part 52.232-18 Availability of Funds Funds are not presently available for this contract. The Government's obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. 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. Oxford University Press is the publisher and only-known provider of PDF access to the online backfiles of 45 Oxford titles (listed below). Access to these journals is required by faculty, students and researchers for purposes of teaching and research. Access over the internet using IP authentication to the listed titles allows researchers to sign in through our ER website and download articles required for research. 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.ctr@usuhs.mil) by 4:00pm on August 10, 2010.
