The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center intends to sole source a firm fixed price purchase order to Bayer Healthcare LLC for three upgrades to existing CT contrast injectors located in its Radiology and Imaging Sciences Department in Bethesda, Maryland. These upgrades are necessary to maintain FDA compliance, ensure the proper calibration of life-critical safety features, and guarantee seamless integration with the existing CT imaging systems, as the proprietary technology used in the current injectors can only be serviced by the original equipment manufacturer. The acquisition falls under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures, which permits sole source awards when only one source is reasonably available, and it is exempt from full competition requirements due to the nature of the equipment and the urgency of maintaining operational safety and regulatory standards. The contract is classified under Product Service Code 6515 and NAICS Code 339112, and the performance location is clearly designated as Bethesda, MD. This is a notice of intent, not a solicitation, and no formal request for quotations will be issued. Interested parties are invited to submit comments regarding their capabilities prior to the closing date of July 24, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, though the government retains full discretion over whether to proceed with the sole source award based on feedback received. All submissions must reference solicitation number 26-007180 and be sent to Kristin Nagashima, Contract Specialist, at kristin.nagashima@nih.gov. The award will be made directly to Bayer Healthcare LLC, located at 100 Bayer Blvd, Whippany, NJ 07981, without competitive bidding, as the technology involved is exclusive to the manufacturer and critical for the continued safe and effective operation of diagnostic imaging services at the NIH Clinical Center.
