The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, specifically the Department of Transfusion Medicine/Transfusion Services Laboratory, intends to procure two blood bank plasma storage freezers and one blood bank refrigerator to ensure the safe storage of blood products for patients. The requirement includes the delivery, setup, and service plans for specific Helmer equipment, including one 20 cubic foot freezer with metal drawers, one 20 cubic foot freezer with shelves, and one 13 cubic foot refrigerator. This procurement is necessary because existing equipment is failing or nearing the end of its useful life, posing a risk to the purity and potency of critical blood products. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Helmer, Inc., as their units meet all regulatory and licensing requirements and provide essential features such as continuous electronic temperature monitoring and alarms. While this is a presolicitation notice and not a request for competitive quotations, interested sources may submit capability statements and supporting documentation to the primary point of contact by September 23, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET.

Notice Type: Presolicitation Notice / Notice of Intent
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center (CC)

NAICS Code: 339113 – Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing

Response Date: September 23, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET


The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center (CC), Department of Transfusion Medicine/Transfusion Services Laboratory (DTM/TSL), has a requirement for two (2) Blood Bank Plasma Storage (-30°C) Freezers and one (1) Blood Bank Refrigerator, including delivery, setup, and service plans. The equipment is required to support the safe storage of blood products used for Clinical Center patients.


The Government intends to procure the following Helmer equipment:


  • One (1) Helmer iBF120-GX, 20 cu. ft. Blood Bank Plasma Storage Freezer with metal drawers;

  • One (1) Helmer iBF120-GX, 20 cu. ft. Blood Bank Plasma Storage Freezer with shelves; and

The Government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Helmer, Inc. The Helmer units meet DTM's regulatory and licensing requirements and will standardize equipment within the Transfusion Services Laboratory. The units provide continuous electronic temperature monitoring, temperature-excursion alarms, door-open alarms, appropriate footprints for the laboratory environment, and frost-free operation.


This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources that believe they can provide equipment meeting the Government's requirements may submit a capability statement and supporting documentation for consideration.


Responses must demonstrate the vendor's ability to provide equipment that meets all technical, regulatory, licensing, delivery, setup, and service requirements.


Responses are due no later than September 23, 2026, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time and must be emailed to contact@example.gov and reference POTS 26-010215. The Government will consider all timely responses received before proceeding with the intended award.
