AI Contract Overview
The NIH Clinical Center plans to award a sole-source fixed-price purchase order to Hill-Rom for the upgrade of three Progressa ICU beds using the OEM PROGRESSA+ Surface Upgrade Kits, encompassing certified parts, software updates, labor, travel, and on-site installation. These beds, originally installed in 2013 and continuously maintained by Hill-Rom and NIH Biomedical Engineering staff, are integral to critical clinical workflows in the ICU and for wound care, directly supporting patient safety and the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries. The requirement is tied to long-standing operational protocols, making compatibility and uninterrupted functionality essential to clinical continuity and care quality. Hill-Rom is the only authorized provider capable of delivering OEM-authorized solutions that ensure system integrity, regulatory compliance, and patient safety; alternative sources risk compromising device performance and triggering costly recertification or downtime. The acquisition is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), as it falls below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and only one source is reasonably available. While the notice invites third parties to submit capability statements by August 12, 2026, demonstrating equivalency to Hill-Rom’s OEM offering, the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition. All submissions must reference POTS 26-005379 and be sent electronically to the designated point of contact at the National Institutes of Health.

Title: Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Hill-Rom PROGRESSA+ Surface Upgrade Kits for Three (3) Progressa ICU Beds
Notice ID (POTS): 26-005379
Product Service Code (PSC): 6515 Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies
NAICS Code: 339113 Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing
Place of Performance: National Institutes of Health

Description
The NIH Clinical Center intends to award a sole-source fixed-price purchase order to Hill-Rom for the upgrade of three (3) Progressa ICU beds with the OEM PROGRESSA+ Surface Upgrade Kit. The requirement includes OEM parts, software upgrades, labor, travel, and onsite installation.
Background
Hill-Rom Progressa beds have been in continuous use at the NIH Clinical Center since 2013, when they replaced the legacy Hill-Rom Total Care beds. These beds have been maintained exclusively by Hill-Rom and NIH Biomedical Engineering personnel and are integrated into numerous NIH clinical protocols. They are used primarily in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and by the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing team, where they play a critical role in the prevention, monitoring, and treatment of pressure injuries and ulcers. Their established use in patient care and clinical protocols makes continued support and compatibility essential to maintaining uninterrupted operations and quality patient care.
Justification
Hill-Rom is the original equipment manufacturer and the only source capable of providing certified OEM parts, software, upgrades, technical support, and factory-authorized installation. Use of non-OEM sources could compromise patient safety, require recertification, and interrupt clinical operations.
Authority
The intended sole-source acquisition is authorized under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which permits solicitation from a single source when the Contracting Officer determines that only one source is reasonably available for an acquisition not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
Capability Statements
This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. Interested parties believing they can satisfy the Government's requirement shall submit a capability statement with supporting documentation demonstrating their ability to provide an equivalent OEM-authorized solution. Capability statements shall reference POTS 26-005379 and must be submitted electronically no later than August 12, 2026, at 4:30 P.M. Eastern Time (ET).
The Government will evaluate all capability statements received. However, the determination not to compete this requirement remains solely within the Government's discretion.
