MRI INFUSION PUMPS

The National Institutes of Health, under the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking a firm-fixed-price contract for the procurement of non-magnetic MRI infusion pumps to support the activation of the new CC PICU in Bethesda, Maryland. These specialized medical devices are required to safely administer intravenous fluids, medications, or anesthetics at controlled rates within strong magnetic fields. The total estimated value for this one-time purchase is 980,137.69 dollars, with delivery of the equipment and services expected within eight weeks of the award. This procurement is designated as a small business set-aside and is being conducted as a sole-source award under FAR 6.302-1. The government has identified Iradimed as the sole proprietor of the only FDA-approved MRI pump, eliminating the need for competitive evaluation factors. Price reasonableness will be determined by the Contracting Officer using an Independent Government Cost Estimate based on previous contract pricing, ECRI equipment comparisons, and FSS data. The acquisition emphasizes the standardization of equipment to minimize safety risks and reduce training time.
