AI Contract Overview
The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center intends to award a sole-source contract to Valor Network Inc., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, to provide remote diagnostic teleradiology services for the Radiology and Imaging Sciences department. The contractor will provide board-certified radiologists to interpret imaging studies across various modalities, including MRI, X-ray, CT, Nuclear Medicine, and Ultrasound, for patients on approved protocols. Key deliverables include the generation of standardized reports per American College of Radiology guidelines, with strict turnaround times requiring STAT reports within 60 minutes and routine reports within 24 hours of image receipt. All interpretations must be performed within the United States or its territories and integrated directly into the patient Electronic Health Record. The period of performance is one year, running from February 1, 2026, to January 31, 2027, with the place of performance located at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. This requirement is being sole-sourced under FAR 6.302-1 and 13.106-1 because Valor Network Inc. has already established the complex IT and cybersecurity protocols necessary to transmit DICOM-compliant data securely. The government has determined that transitioning to a new vendor at this time would cause significant delays in patient care due to the time required to re-implement these security measures. The contract mandates strict adherence to FISMA, NIST, and NIH cybersecurity policies, including the use of PIV cards, SecureLink or Citrix remote access, and the reporting of any security incidents within one hour.

Full Description
Acquisition Description:
This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (NIH-CC) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Valor Network Inc.. This vendor is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
National Institute of Health’s Clinical Center (NIH-CC) has the Radiology and Imaging Sciences (RADIS) department (collectively “Program”) that needs TeleRadiology to handle the patient workload and the post-pandemic exodus of board-certified Radiologists needed to view and diagnose patient images. The various sections of RADIS: MRI, X-ray, CT, Nuc Med, US, all require Radiologists to view, read and diagnose a patient’s condition that are on CC-IRB approved protocols. These services must be performed and certified by the Radiologist before Program can proceed to next steps in theragnostic for the patients. The Contractor must be authorized to connect to and transmit data to RADIS and have computer hardware that is capable of receiving Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) compliant diagnostic imaging studies from RADIS and to return a final interpretation report that will automatically upload into the patient’s Electronic Health Record (EHR).
Justification:
The NIH-CC competed this requirement in 2024 and selected Valor Network to provide services for Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026. However, due to the time constraints caused by recent events, the NIH-CC does not have the time or resources to recompete and re-setup this requirement in time. For example, for the existing requirement, it required several months between Government and vendor to establish IT protocols that the DHS and DCRI Security Cybersecurity measures would allow to transfer patient images and data between the Government and vendor. The IT connection is now only able to be provided by the current vendor. Any change to a different vendor would require the re-implementation of these protocols that would cause significant delays to the current need.
Thus, this requirement will be sole sourced to this vendor for one (1) year, and it is intended that this requirement will be recompeted next year when more time and resources are available.
See attached documents for details.
