Notice of Intent to Sole Source Microsoft

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences announced its intent to sole-source Unified Enterprise Support from Microsoft Corporation through the Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium Master Services Agreement, with interested vendors required to submit evidence of competitive advantage by August 18, 2026. The justification for sole sourcing rests on Microsoft's status as the exclusive supplier of this service through MEEC, with no alternative vendors capable of delivering the required services via that consortium vehicle. Parties wishing to challenge the sole-source intent may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous, cost-effective, time-efficient, and capable of meeting USUHS needs. Responses must be emailed to ryan.jeffers@usuhs.edu by the stated deadline. The government will not reimburse response costs. The procurement follows FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) procedures. The intended recipient is Microsoft Corporation, 1 Microsoft Way, Redmond, Washington 98052.
