Oral Surgeon Services

The National Institutes of Health, through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, is seeking a part-time Oral Surgeon and Residency Trainer to support clinical care and training at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. This sole-source acquisition under FAR Part 13 is justified by the need to maintain continuity in patient care and resident education, as transitioning to a new contractor would pose an unacceptable risk to ongoing research protocols and specialized services for medically complex patients, including those with immunodeficiencies, blood dyscrasias, cancer therapy complications, and rare syndromic conditions. The selected contractor must provide an individual with a valid U.S. dental license, completion of an accredited oral and maxillofacial surgery program, Advanced Cardiac Life Support certification, and $1 million per occurrence / $3 million aggregate malpractice insurance. Board certification is preferred but not mandatory. The surgeon must work a minimum of 1.5 days per week on-site at Building 10 and be available for on-call backup, with the obligation to treat patients at the contractor’s facility if on-site services are unavailable. The position requires proven experience training at least three oral surgery residents and participating in clinical case conferences, scholarly activities, and continuing education. The contract is for a 12-month base period with no specified options for extension, and the total estimated value does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000. Performance is evaluated by the NIDCR Clinical Director based on clinical competence, quality of training, patient safety, and credentialing compliance, with the contractor responsible for ensuring continuous coverage and providing immediate replacements if the assigned surgeon becomes unavailable. All personnel must pass mandatory NIH Clinical Center credentialing, which includes background vetting, and maintain active SAM.gov registration with a Unique Entity Identifier and Taxpayer Identification Number. Proposals must be submitted via email by June 30, 2026, and include documentation of SAM registration, insurance, qualifications, fee structure, and F.O.B. terms. No formal contract clauses, line items, or payment office details are provided, as this is a simplified procurement under non-competitive procedures focused on institutional continuity rather than competitive bidding.
