About this opportunity
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), a Department of Defense agency, has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for Unified Enterprise Support services. USUHS intends to negotiate directly with Microsoft Corporation for these services under the Microsoft Master Services Agreement through the Maryland Education Enterprise Consortium (MEEC). The procurement is classified under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC code DA10 (IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Software as a Service). The notice was posted on July 31, 2025, with responses due by August 15, 2025. This sole source approach indicates that USUHS believes Microsoft is uniquely positioned to provide the required enterprise support services.
The primary purpose of this notice is to justify the sole source procurement by asserting that Microsoft is the only supplier capable of providing the necessary enterprise support for MEEC members. However, the notice also serves as an opportunity for other potential contractors to challenge this assumption by demonstrating that competition would benefit the government. Interested parties must submit responses to ryan.jeffers@usuhs.edu by the specified deadline, proving that competitive procurement would not be cost or time prohibitive and that they can adequately meet the government's requirements. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), and USUHS will evaluate all submitted information to determine whether to proceed with the sole source approach or pursue competitive bidding. Contractors responding must show they can provide equivalent enterprise support capabilities and that opening the procurement to competition would provide tangible advantages to the government.
