- 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 GE Healthcare for five (5) V-scan portable ultrasound machines. The machines will be used by the medical students for use in Operation Bushmaster, the capstone event of the USU Operational Military Medicine curriculum. 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 utilizes the V-scan ultrasound machines in Operation Bushmaster. The requested machines will be used to expand our curriculum. It is important to maintain consistency/uniformity for training. In addition, the V-scan comes with color-flow capability, which is needed in several ultrasound applications, such as echocardiography, hepatobiliary and various venous/arterial studies. GE Healthcare is the only know source that can provided the requested equipment. 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 (michelle.creenan@usuhs.edu) by 10:00 p.m. Eastern local time on September 13th.
