Notice of Intent to Sole Source Human Cadavers for the GME Residency Program at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth
This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract for human cadavers prepared using the Thiel method for a medical residency program. The contract includes a base year from July 2026 through June 2027, plus two option years. The total estimated value is $395,700. The justification for a sole-source award is that the Virginia Department of Health is deemed the only source capable of providing these specific cadavers and delivering them via ground transport within two hours of leaving their facility. The notice states this is not a request for quotes, but allows for responses that must demonstrate compelling evidence that competition would be advantageous.
