NIBIB Innovation Funnel Commercialization Center

The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), part of the National Institutes of Health, intends to modify the existing IDIQ contract with the National Collegiate Inventors & Innovators Alliance, Inc. (VentureWell) to increase the ceiling value and continue operations of the NIBIB Innovation Funnel Commercialization Center, with modification anticipated around September 2026. This is a non-competitive, single-vendor modification to existing contract 75N92022D00013 supporting the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx-Tech) initiative, an innovation funnel accelerating development, commercialization, and implementation of health technologies.

Work encompasses professional services across commercialization domains including recruitment of professional services consultants and vendors, client services support for subcontracting and consultant services, and maintenance of enterprise-level automated management software. The requirement demands specialized domain expertise to assess and mitigate risks at various technology development stages. NAICS code 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and PSC R408 apply. The procurement is conducted under FAR subparts 12 and 15 at an amount exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold.
