Patient Safety Government Bids & RFPs

This is a Call for Solutions (CFS) for a Portable Patient Transport System (PPTS) under the authority of 10 U. S. C. 4022. The U. S. Army is seeking readily available systems for a single, nonambulatory patient to support biocontainment, isolation, and quarantine. The system must be manportable and control the spread of biological threats during transport. It requires an integrated, battery-powered air filtration system generating negative pressure, sufficient air changes per hour, and filtering exhaust air. Essential features include glove ports, passthrough interfaces, and windows for patient care. The program is multiphased, with up to five Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) for Segment I (Phase I). Downselections will occur at the end of each segment, with up to two solutions proceeding to Segment II (Phases II and III). Successful prototypes must meet specific criteria for leak containment, force protection, airflow, filtration, power, regulatory compliance, interfaces, air filtration, weight, and airworthiness. Proposals must include a draft Statement of Work (SOW), master delivery schedule, total firm-fixed-price, projected unit cost, production rate, bill of materials, data rights assertions, and supporting documentation for performance claims. Segment I requires delivery of thirty prototype systems within 90 days of award, demonstrating a minimum Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 5 and Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) of 5. Segment II involves platform integration, environmental testing (TRL 6, MRL 6), and airworthiness/operational flight testing (TRL 8, MRL 8). All prototypes must achieve airworthiness certification and FDA 510k clearance by the end of Phase III. The government has a strong preference for unlimited rights for all technical data, software, and intellectual property. Submissions are due by 4:00 PM on June 3, 2026. Questions regarding the finalized call must be submitted before 5:00 PM on May 19, 2026.

This is a notice of intent to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Baxter Healthcare for the purchase and upgrade of various types of positioning equipment for surgical tables. The NIH Clinical Center's Department of Perioperative Medicine requires this equipment due to frequent breakdowns and patient safety concerns. The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U. S. C. 253(c)(1). This is not a request for proposal. Interested responsible sources may submit a capability statement by 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on June 2, 2026, to valerie. gregorio@nih. gov.
