About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations issued a sole-source Special Notice for three Baxter/Hill-Rom LIKO Ceiling Mounted Patient Lift systems with Traverse Rail System (800 lbs. capacity) and installation services for the Clinical Center's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with a response deadline of September 26, 2026.
The procurement, valued at $47,609.00, is limited to Hill-Rom as the original equipment manufacturer under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for simplified acquisitions. The NIH Clinical Center has standardized exclusively on Hill-Rom LIKO lift models since 2001, currently operating 49 units facility-wide with no competing brands in use. The sole-source justification rests on patient safety and operational continuity: Hill-Rom's FDA compliance requires slings and accessories to be matched to specific lift systems, the manufacturer declines to approve third-party service providers or accessories, and introducing an alternative system would necessitate new staff training, separate maintenance contracts, and incompatibility risks. Hill-Rom provides 24/7 local support and maintains quality assurance through continuous engineering updates and training. Market research using ECRI equipment comparison reports confirmed the cost is consistent with and lower than comparable alternatives. Equipment will be installed in PICU Rooms 3-3660, 3-3664, and 3-3684.
