This solicitation is issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a non-competitive combined synopsis/solicitation to award a contract or purchase order without providing for full and open competition (including brand-name, if applicable).

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Office of Acquisitions, is issuing this Notice of Intent (NOI) for a non-competitive combined synopsis/solicitation to award a contract for interventional cardiology services. The goal is to support the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research (DIR) clinical protocols. WellSpan Health has been identified as the contractor due to their unique qualifications and prior collaborations with NHLBI, which are essential for continuity of operations at the NIH Clinical Center. Work Details The contractor will provide the services of one part-time (0.4 FTE) licensed interventional cardiologist to support active clinical protocols including but not limited to: 1) Bioprosthetic or native Aortic Scallop Intentional Laceration to prevent Iatrogenic Coronary Artery obstruction (BASILICA); 2) Transatrial Intrapericardial Tricuspid Annuloplasty (TRAIPTA); 3) SEptal Scoring Along Midline Endocardium (SESAME); 4) Ventricular Intramyocardial Navigation for Tachycardia Ablation Guided by Electrograms (VINTAGE). The contractor shall perform invasive diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization on patients at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, at least two days per week. Additional responsibilities include guiding regular clinical care for patients and research subjects, and providing consultation to DIR Principal Investigators and research teams on best practices in clinical research and interventional cardiology procedures. Period of Performance July 7, 2026 through July 6, 2027 Place of Performance National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, Cardiology Branch, 10 Center Drive, Building 10, Room 2C713, Bethesda, MD 20814 Bidder Requirements The contractor must be a licensed interventional cardiologist with experience in performing novel interventional cardiology procedures. They must maintain medical malpractice insurance or its equivalent. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior award 75N92025P00196, where WellSpan Health was awarded interventional cardiology services for the period 05/12/25–07/06/26 (value $195,000). The current requirement similarly calls for a part-time interventional cardiologist to perform invasive diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization and to support specific novel interventional cardiology procedures used in NHLBI DIR clinical protocols, which suggests continuity of the same clinical/procedural support function at the NIH Clinical Center.
