About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center intends to award a sole-source fixed-price purchase order to Hill-Rom for upgrade kits to three Progressa ICU beds, with a notice-of-intent due date of August 12, 2026.
The acquisition covers OEM PROGRESSA+ Surface Upgrade Kits including parts, software upgrades, labor, travel, and onsite installation for beds located at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Hill-Rom Progressa beds have been in continuous use at the Clinical Center since 2013 and are integrated into numerous clinical protocols, particularly in the ICU and by the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing team, where they support pressure injury prevention and treatment.
The sole-source justification rests on patient safety and operational continuity. Hill-Rom is the original equipment manufacturer and the only source capable of providing certified OEM parts, software upgrades, technical support, and factory-authorized installation. The Clinical Center states that non-OEM sources could compromise patient safety, require recertification, and interrupt clinical operations. The beds have been maintained exclusively by Hill-Rom and NIH Biomedical Engineering personnel since deployment and are embedded in established clinical protocols.
The acquisition is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which permits sole-source procurement when the Contracting Officer determines only one source is reasonably available. No set-aside applies.

Description
The NIH Clinical Center intends to award a sole-source fixed-price purchase order to Hill-Rom for the upgrade of three (3) Progressa ICU beds with the OEM PROGRESSA+ Surface Upgrade Kit. The requirement includes OEM parts, software upgrades, labor, travel, and onsite installation.
Background
Hill-Rom Progressa beds have been in continuous use at the NIH Clinical Center since 2013, when they replaced the legacy Hill-Rom Total Care beds. These beds have been maintained exclusively by Hill-Rom and NIH Biomedical Engineering personnel and are integrated into numerous NIH clinical protocols. They are used primarily in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and by the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing team, where they play a critical role in the prevention, monitoring, and treatment of pressure injuries and ulcers. Their established use in patient care and clinical protocols makes continued support and compatibility essential to maintaining uninterrupted operations and quality patient care.
Justification
Hill-Rom is the original equipment manufacturer and the only source capable of providing certified OEM parts, software, upgrades, technical support, and factory-authorized installation. Use of non-OEM sources could compromise patient safety, require recertification, and interrupt clinical operations.
Authority
The intended sole-source acquisition is authorized under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which permits solicitation from a single source when the Contracting Officer determines that only one source is reasonably available for an acquisition not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The Government will evaluate all capability statements received. However, the determination not to compete this requirement remains solely within the Government's discretion.
