Equipment: 7T MRI System with a dedicated, high-performance, local gradient subsystem.
Solicitation # RFP-2026-NIH-7TMR
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking a single-award, Firm-Fixed-Price contract for the acquisition and turn-key installation of a research-dedicated 7-Tesla (7T) Ultra-High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system at the Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Core (FMRIF) Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The scope of work includes the delivery of the MRI system with a high-performance local gradient subsystem, professional project management, specialized rigging and mechanical installation within Building 10, and the de-installation and removal of an existing legacy Siemens 7T Plus system. The contractor is responsible for all equipment, personnel, calibration, and onsite applications training, with a total period of performance spanning 18 to 24 months from the date of award. Technical requirements are stringent, mandating a superconducting actively shielded 7.0T magnet, specific field homogeneity and drift rates, and a local head gradient system capable of at least 200 mT/m peak amplitude and 900 T/m/s slew rate. The system must also feature an 8-channel parallel transmit array, a minimum of 64 digital receiver channels, and a high-end reconstruction computer supporting real-time processing of 64-channel data. Award will be determined via a Best Value Tradeoff, prioritizing performance capability over the lowest cost. Key evaluation factors include local gradient and RF performance, research openness and development environment, compatibility with existing NIH workflows, and the contractor's relevant experience in delivering comparable 7T systems. Eligibility is strictly limited to offerors who attended the mandatory site visit on September 3, 2026. Proposals must be submitted in three distinct volumes covering technical specifications, past performance, and business/pricing. Large business offerors are required to provide a Small Business Subcontracting Plan. Final government acceptance is contingent upon successful on-site calibration and a continuous 24-hour imaging performance verification run. The contractor assumes all financial and operational risk for the delivery pathway and installation, with no post-award adjustments permitted for site complexities.
