About this opportunity
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), a Defense agency, issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source on January 16, 2026. This special notice announces USU's intention to negotiate a sole-source contract with AffinityCE, LLC for a Learning Management System supporting the Medical Executive Skills Training Course, known as MedXellence. The justification for the sole-source approach is that AffinityCE, LLC currently provides a custom LMS specifically tailored to the MedXellence program, including hosting of all virtual training content and support for scheduled events. The notice is categorized under Professional and Management Development Training and falls within the Education/Training-General procurement category. Interested parties are invited to submit responses demonstrating alternative capabilities before the government proceeds with the sole-source award.
The primary objective of this special notice is to provide potential offerors an opportunity to compete before USU awards a sole-source contract, thereby ensuring fair and open competition. The proposed contract structure includes one 12-month base period with two optional 12-month extension periods. Interested contractors must submit their responses via email to ryan.jeffers@usuhs.edu by 3:00 PM EST on January 30, 2026, providing clear evidence that alternative competition would be advantageous, cost-effective, and capable of meeting the government's specified requirements. While there are no explicit restrictions preventing competition, potential offerors must demonstrate how their solutions can replicate or exceed the current custom LMS capabilities supporting the MedXellence program. This notice represents an opportunity for learning management system providers to challenge the current sole-source justification and present viable alternative solutions.
