- 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 S. Karger AG, for electronic access to the Karger Journal Archive Collection. The packages being requested are Internal Medicine I: Pneumology, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, and Nephrology (12 titles); Internal Medicine II: Hematology, Oncology, Dermatology, Allergy, Pediatrics, Gerontology, and General Medicine (12 titles); and ORL, Ophthalmology, Dental Medicine, Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Psychology, Psychiatry (16 titles). The awarded contract will be a onetime purchase. The contract will authorize the end-user unlimited electronic access to these titles for USU's faculty, students, and staff for purposes of teaching and research. 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. S. Karger AG is the sole provider for this journal collection. Access to these journals is vital for medical research, continuing education, and clinical care throughout USU. 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 above-mentioned 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 ( melissa.marcellus.ctr@usuhs.mil ) by 3:30pm on 4 August 2010.
