- Description
- The NIH Clinical Center (CC) is a 240-bed federally funded, biomedical research hospital located on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The Clinical Center is the delivery setting for all NIH intramural clinical research protocols. The Clinical Center accounts for about one-half of all NIH-funded clinical research beds in the United States and accommodates about 7,000 inpatient and 70,000 outpatient visits a year. Patients are admitted to the NIH Clinical Center from all over the world for the sole purpose of participating in a clinical research protocol. The Clinical Center's Medical Record Department (MRD) is responsible for providing dictation and transcription services for a variety of specialized medical reports related to patients' inpatient hospital admissions, day hospital visits, outpatient clinic visits, ambulatory surgery and other complex diagnostic medical studies. Such reports may be categorized into four groups including medical reports, diagnostic reports, pathologic reports and letters to outside physicians. Dictated reports and letters include information consisting of technical terminology and phraseology from all medical and scientific disciplines, which the NIH allied health professionals involved in the care of the patient wish to document in the patient's medical record regarding diagnosis, past or present treatment, future care and research protocol findings. Additionally, the Diagnostic Radiology Department, Nuclear Medicine Department and PET Departments which are part of the Imaging Sciences Program providing clinical imaging services for the NIH clinical Center also require transcription services for radiological, nuclear medicine and PET reports dictated by staff physicians and radiologists. The Clinical Center seeks a contractor who can provide the required transcription and dictation services for the Medical Records Department as well as the Imaging Sciences Department (and its component departments). This contract will have a base period of performance of twelve months, with four twelve month unilateral option periods available for exercise by the Government. A fixed price requirements type contract is contemplated. This electronic solicitation is anticipated to be issued on or about May 15, 2009 with proposals due by June 16, 2009. No paper copies will be available. Offerors are responsible for downloading their own copy of this solicitation and for routinely checking this site for any possible amendments that may be issued by the Government. This acquisition has been designated as a total small business set-aside under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 561110, Size Standard-$6.0 million dollars. Any questions on this solicitation should be submitted to the contract specialist specified herein by no later than June 2, 2009. This advertisement does not commit the Government to award a contract. For any questions, please contact Mrs. Ann Argaman at (301) 594-5919.
