This firm fixed-price purchase order contract was awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, a civilian agency, to BLT Fund9 Bethesdan, LLC, a for-profit organization based in Bethesda, Maryland. The $29,608.84 contract provides hotel services in support of patient-related travel through November 8, 2024. BLT Fund9 Bethesdan, which has over 50 prior federal contracts, primarily with the NIH, is supporting the agency's medical research programs by furnishing temporary accommodations, meeting facilities, and audiovisual equipment to facilitate patient participation in trials and enable independent scientific review of NIH grant applications. The contract was not set aside for small businesses.

The award is associated with two larger NIH indefinite delivery vehicles held by BLT Fund9 Bethesdan - a 5-year, $10 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for scientific review lodging and audiovisual support, and a single-award, $750,000 Indefinite Delivery Contract for patient lodging at the NIH Clinical Center from 2023 onward. Task orders under these vehicles will provide additional temporary accommodations and meeting services to support the agency's biomedical research mission.
