    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Health Readiness Contracting Office (HRCO) at Joint Base San Antonio, intends to award a sole-source purchase order to PAEA Assessment for the Physician Assistant Education Association’s (PAEA) Student Exam Bundle. This procurement is essential for the United States Army Medical Center of Excellence (MEDCoE) and includes standardized exams such as the Physician Assistant Clinical Knowledge Rating and Assessment Tool (PACKRAT), End of Rotation Exams, and End of Curriculum Exams, which are critical for the U.S. Army Military Graduate Program. The sole-source justification is based on the highly specialized nature of these services, where competitive bidding could lead to substantial cost duplication or unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements. Interested parties may submit capability statements or proposals for consideration, and any concerns regarding this sole-source intent should be directed to Contracting Officer Arturo Castro at arturo.castro8.civ@health.mil.
