Licensing and Support Services for the RA600 Workstation Software

The National Institutes of Health, Clinical Center (NIH-CC) intends to negotiate with General Electric Company for the licensing and support services required to maintain the Department of Radiology and Imaging Science's Technologist workstation. The workstation provides the capability to modify the structural and demographic components of Radiology examinations. The upgrade is necessary to bring the capabilities of these workstations to current standards and to address software vulnerabilities identified by NIH security. • The purchase includes service/maintenance for the workstation software licenses going forward. • The NIH Clinical Center is a 234-bed federally funded, biomedical research hospital located on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. • The Clinical Center accounts for about 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.
