The Government contemplates awarding multiple-year Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, as identified under FAR Part 12 in conjunction FAR Part for direct Patient Hotel Lodging no third party Hotel Management Companies.

Introduction

The National Institutes o f Health Clinical Center (CC) is America's clinical research hospital and the world's largest hospital dedicated totally to clinical research. Through clinical research, promising discoveries i n the laboratory are translated into better health and health care for all. Currently, there are approximately 1,500 active clinical research studies.

The N I H Clinical Center is a unique facility i n that all patients are on a research protocol and many patients travel here from across the country and world and may be here for extended stays. Sometimes these patients are alone, may not have many visitors, and/or are without family members for support. Many patients wi th chronic or acute illnesses have depleted their financial resources and the cost o f travel and lodging causes them additional stress. A positive experience wi th lodging accommodations is an important contributor to a patient's overall well-being. These patients play a critical role in the N I H mission and as a result lodging costs may be partially reimbursed by the N I H Clinical Center.

Background

The vision o f the N I H Clinical Center is to serve as the nation's premier research hospital for conducting clinical research to improve the health of human kind. It also serves as a national resource for clinical research by developing diagnostic and therapeutic interventions; enhancing systems to ensure the safe, efficient, and ethical conduct o f clinical research; training clinical researchers; and leading the response to the nation's public health needs.

In 2005, the Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center was opened. This state of the art facility is home to inpatient units, day hospitals and research labs and connects to the existing Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center, which opened its doors to patients i n Together, the Magnuson and Hatfield centers form the N I H Clinical Center, the world's largest clinical research complex, servicing a dual role: providing humane and healing patient care and an environment for clinical researchers to advance clinical science.
