Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Stryker

The NIH Clinical Center is issuing a sole‑source notice to purchase two pediatric intensive‑care cribs from Stryker Sales LLC. Because the Clinical Center’s existing equipment ecosystem is standardized on Stryker products, the agency argues that only Stryker can meet the specific technical and safety requirements for the cribs, which include a 400‑lb capacity, 360‑degree caregiver access, silent doors, and specific dimensions. The solicitation does not request quotations; instead, interested parties may submit comments by the specified deadline, after which NIH may award a firm‑fixed‑price purchase order. • Purchase of two specialized pediatric cribs for the new PICU. • Must be Stryker brand to ensure compatibility with existing beds, call systems, and wheelchair fleet. • Technical specs: 400 lb capacity, 360° access, silent doors, weight scale 4‑100 lb, counter‑balance siderails, pneumatic‑assist backrest, dimensions ≤ 65.5″ × 37″ (or 72.25″ × 37.5″ with accessories). • Procurement conducted under FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition; sole‑source justified by incompatibility with other vendors. • Comments/questions due September 1 2026; no formal quotation requested.
