About this opportunity
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), a Department of Defense agency, has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract to Bell Techlogix, Inc. for Microsoft Enrollment for Education Solutions (EES) Agreement. The contract covers 18 Microsoft software subscriptions including Microsoft 365 A5, Project, Visio, Visual Studio, Core Server Platform, SQL Server Platform, Azure Monetary Commit Unit, and various licenses for both employees and students. USU justifies the sole-source approach based on its membership in the Maryland Educational Enterprise Consortium (MEEC), where Bell Techlogix serves as the exclusive authorized reseller of Microsoft EES products for MEEC educational institutions. This Special Notice serves as advance notification to the contracting community of USU's procurement intentions under the firm-fixed-price contracting method.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to provide transparency in the procurement process while allowing interested parties to demonstrate that competition might benefit the government. Contractors who believe they can provide equivalent services may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations to challenge the sole-source determination. All responses must be submitted via email to kaysie.taylor@usuhs.edu by 2:00 PM EST on July 1, 2025. The government emphasizes that responding parties will bear all costs associated with preparing and submitting their responses. Contractors must demonstrate their ability to provide Microsoft EES products and services that would offer competitive advantages over the proposed sole-source arrangement. This notice represents an opportunity for qualified software publishers and IT service providers to present alternative solutions before the final contract award decision.
