- Description
- Synposis:The VA Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System (VAGCVHCS) intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR Part 6.302 to Elsevier MD Consult for on-line services and product alternatives. These on-line services and product alternatives provide a diverse range of content resources, many of which are not available from alternate sources, as well as, full-text access to over 50 leading medical reference books, which are not available online to institutions through any other service except MD Consult. MD Consults search engine provides a unique search methodology which eliminates unqualified search hits. The service also provides access to MEDLINE and AIDSLINE databases, as well as, more than 35 Clinics of North America. Full access is provided for more than 30 year books, which are summaries and expert commentaries on the most significant current literature. Access is also provided for more than 1,000 peer-reviewed practice guidelines, which are updated regularly and organized by topic, specialties, and authoring organization. MD Consult also provides Guideline Updates which include brief summaries of the latest clinical practice guidelines from other sources. MD Consult offers a collection of patient education handouts, reference books, drug information, medical and nursing dictionaries and journals. Qualified companies other than the sole source company (Elsevier MD Consult) must submit in writing, certification and sufficient evidence that they are able to provide all functionality and requirements listed herein including database access on or before December 4, 2009, 2:00 p.m. CST. If no responses are received by this date/time, the VAGCVHCS shall proceed with negotiations with UpToDate, Inc. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed procurement based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries will only be accepted in by email or facsimile at 228-523-4324.
