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, Michigan for 510 eValue UME subscriptions. These subscriptions 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. MedHub, Inc. is the sole provider of access to their proprietary software eValue. USU has used this software to track and evaluate progress of students/trainees for the past several years making repurchase of this particular software necessary.

Additionally, the use of this system is based on the premier functionalities that would assist in meeting the ACGME guidelines for the GME (Graduate Medical Education)/NCC (National Capital Consortium) programs. This online evaluation management system will ensure that our Program Directors will be in compliance and meet accreditation requirements as set forth by the Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
