AI Contract Overview
The contract involves the procurement of the Hyperfine Swoop Next-generation portable ultra low-field MRI system, designed to enhance neuroimaging research by allowing high-quality MRI scans at the bedside. This technology enables imaging of critically ill or non-ambulatory patients directly within their care environment, bypassing the need for specialized infrastructure and patient transport that traditional high-field MRI scanners require. The portability of this system significantly broadens the range of patient populations accessible for study and facilitates real-time neurological assessments in settings where conventional MRI usage is limited or impractical. This procurement builds on prior collaborative research with Hyperfine, which demonstrated the feasibility and clinical value of point-of-care neuroimaging. The new Swoop system will support ongoing research efforts by enabling integration of ultra low-field scans with high-field MRI data, allowing for systematic validation of low-field imaging against established standards to increase scientific rigor. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334516, managed by the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, with a response deadline in early June 2026. The contract offers an opportunity to contribute to advancing neuroimaging capabilities in clinical and research environments.

Full Description
Requirements
The ultra–low-field portable MRI provides a powerful opportunity to advance our neuroimaging research by enabling high-quality imaging directly at the bedside. Unlike conventional high-field scanners that require specialized infrastructure and patient transport, the Hyperfine Swoop allows us to image critically ill or non-ambulatory patients in their current care environment. This portability greatly expands the patient populations we can study and supports real-time assessment of neurological conditions in settings where traditional MRI is impractical.
Our use of the ultra–low-field system builds on patient studies we initiated several years ago through a strong and ongoing collaboration with Hyperfine. These studies established the feasibility and value of point of care neuroimaging, and the next-generation Swoop now allows us to continue and enhance this work. By pairing ultra–low-field scans with high-field MRI, we can systematically validate low-field metrics against established standards and strengthen the scientific rigor of our research.
