Transplant Post-Discharge Lodging for NCI Research Participants
Transplant Post-Discharge Lodging for NCI Research Participants
The Office of Mission Acquisition Solutions (OMAS), on behalf of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), intends to award a non-competitive, firm fixed-price purchase order for post-discharge lodging services for research participants. The requirement supports patients in clinical trials who travel to the NIH Clinical Center for bone marrow transplants. Due to the delicate timing of immune system conditioning and the protocol mandate for a 100-day post-transplant evaluation period, participants must remain in close proximity to the facility for safety and clinical management. The government intends to negotiate exclusively with Friends of Patients at the NIH to fulfill these unique clinical care needs.
The acquisition is identified under NAICS 814110 Private Households and PSC X1FA Lease/Rental of Family Housing Facilities. There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The anticipated period of performance runs from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, with all services centered in Bethesda, Maryland.
Solicitation 75N98026Q00097 was published on March 15, 2026, and carries a response deadline of March 24, 2026. The procurement includes six attachments: a Questions and Answers document, two versions of the Statement of Work, non-competitive justification documentation, a table of applicable clauses, and invoice instructions. Responses must be submitted to Claudia Ventola and include technical capability evidence, a detailed price proposal, and active System for Award Management registration data.
