The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center intends to sole-source a one-year preventative maintenance agreement for a Zimmer Biomet Rosa neurosurgical robot, with capability statements due by 10:00 AM EST on September 28, 2026. The procurement is being pursued as sole-source under 41 U.S.C. 1901(a)(1); Zimmer Biomet is the only authorized provider of maintenance for the Rosa platform, and use of unauthorized service would void equipment warranties.

The scope encompasses Premium Warranty coverage (PWRSK1) and includes 12 cases of operating room support for surgical cases. Performance occurs at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, with delivery required within 30 days of award.
The base year runs from September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2027, with three option years extending through September 29, 2030. Interested sources should submit capability statements by email to lu-chang.lu@nih.gov with subject line referencing NOI-26-008686. The government will evaluate all responses received by the deadline and will make a determination regarding competition based on the submissions received.
