Location: BETHESDA, MD
NAICS: 334310
Scope: Federal

Acquisition Description & Justification: This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal.

The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (NIH-CC) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with SimStation Inc.

The NIH Clinical Center Simulation Program requires a portable, self-contained audiovisual (AV) recording and debriefing system to support simulation-based education, clinical training, competency assessment, and in-situ simulation activities throughout the NIH Clinical Center.

Simulation activities are conducted in both dedicated simulation spaces and clinical environments where permanently installed AV infrastructure may not be available or practical.

Accordingly, the required system must be capable of rapid deployment between locations while providing an integrated capability for audiovisual capture, observation, recording, patient-monitor capture, control, playback, and video-assisted debriefing.

The required system must minimize equipment footprint, setup time, cabling, and dependence on permanent AV or NIH network infrastructure while providing a standardized and reliable simulation recording and debriefing workflow.

NIH's determination to sole source to SimStation Inc. is based upon the totality of the market research and technical evaluation performed.

Alternative commercial and integrated AV solutions were identified and considered.

These alternatives provide various portions of the functionality required by the Clinical Center; therefore, NIH does not assert that individual features such as video recording, debriefing, portability, patient-monitor capture, or network independence are unique to SIMStation GO.

Rather, SIMStation GO was determined to meet the required combination of operational characteristics in a single purpose...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
