The National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations awarded a $18,766.68 firm fixed-price purchase order to BLT Fund9 Bethesdan, LLC for lodging and transportation services supporting existing patients enrolled in clinical center protocols. The contract, issued as POTS 26-004904, is scheduled for completion by April 13, 2026, with performance taking place in Bethesda, Maryland. BLT Fund9 Bethesdan is a for-profit hospitality and logistics services provider specializing in temporary accommodations and conference support for federal agencies. This purchase order was issued without a set-aside designation and represents a task order call against the contractor's existing $10 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the NIH, which runs through December 31, 2027, and authorizes the acquisition of hotel accommodations, conference space, and audiovisual equipment across multiple NIH institutes and centers.

BLT Fund9 Bethesdan has established a substantial track record with the NIH, having received over 50 federal contracts primarily supporting the NIH Clinical Center's patient care operations and the agency's peer review infrastructure. The contractor's expertise in providing coordinated lodging and transportation for research participants aligns with the NIH Clinical Center's mission as the intramural clinical research hospital supporting the National Institutes of Health's biomedical research programs. Individual task orders under the underlying BPA typically range from $5,000 to $50,000, with this award falling within that historical range and directly supporting the continuity of care for patients participating in ongoing clinical protocols.
