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 provide clinical surgical care and train oral surgery residents at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The primary objective is to ensure high-quality surgical treatment for research participants with complex medical conditions while simultaneously delivering structured, hands-on training to residents in a unique research hospital environment. The contractor must supply a qualified oral surgeon with a DDS or MD from a CODA-accredited program, active U.S. licensure, ACLS certification, and board certification in oral and maxillofacial surgery preferred. The surgeon is required to perform routine and complex procedures including extractions, biopsies, implants, and IV sedation, provide on-call consultations, and lead weekly case conferences and resident mentoring, with a minimum commitment of 1.5 days per week on-site. The position demands deep expertise in managing rare, undiagnosed, and systemic diseases with oral manifestations, such as immunodeficiencies, blood disorders, cancer-related complications, and genetic syndromes. The contractor must obtain full credentialing through the NIH Clinical Center, a mandatory and non-negotiable requirement regardless of prior experience, and maintain malpractice insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate. If the assigned surgeon becomes unavailable, the contractor is obligated to furnish an immediate replacement and, if on-site service at NIH is disrupted, must deliver equivalent care at their own facility at no additional cost to the government. The contract is awarded under FAR Part 13 as a non-competitive, simplified acquisition based on the unique and irreplaceable experience of the selected provider—MedStar Washington Hospital Center—in treating NIH patient populations and training residents within a research setting. Services are scoped for a 12-month base period, requiring 624 annual hours of clinical and educational delivery, with no option periods defined. Offerors must submit proposals via email to specified NIH contacts by June 30, 2026, including UEI, TIN, SAM registration proof, business size certification, pricing details, and F.O.B. terms, with no formal pricing structure or CLINs provided; evaluation is performance-based and conducted by the NIDCR Clinical Director, emphasizing clinical excellence, continuity of care, and resident training outcomes.
