About Friends Of Patients At The Nih, Inc.
Friends Of Patients At The Nih, Inc., doing business as Friends At NIH, operates as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization providing temporary residential lodging for patients and caregivers participating in clinical research programs at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The organization competes exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its entire federal contract footprint, serving solely as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with the two NIH institutes that fund its operations.
Friends At NIH's capability is narrowly and deeply specialized: the organization manages a portfolio of furnished apartments (studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units) within one mile of the NIH Clinical Center, accessible via NIH shuttle routes, with utilities included and daily rates fixed within GSA per diem limits. Patients supported include bone marrow transplant recipients and other long-term research participants who must remain in the Bethesda area for 100 days or more following their procedures for required post-discharge monitoring and follow-up care. Representative contracts include a $102,524 firm fixed-price purchase order from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) effective April 2026 through March 2027 for nightly lodging supporting transplant post-discharge research participants, a $98,550 purchase order from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded February 2026 for housing assistance to patients in clinical research programs, and a $24,969 NCI purchase order awarded July 2024 for patient lodging services in Bethesda and Rockville.
Customer concentration is absolute and bilateral. The National Cancer Institute accounts for 16 awards worth $435 thousand in combined potential value, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute accounts for 6 awards worth $187 thousand — these two NIH institutes collectively represent 100% of the organization's 22 recent awards and $622 thousand in combined potential value. The awards are categorized primarily under Other Community Housing Services (19 awards) and Lease/Rental Of Family Housing Facilities (6 awards), with Support-Professional services (PSC code) dominating the procurement classification. Activity has remained modest and episodic, averaging four awards per year over the past five years, with two awards ($201 thousand combined potential value) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete in that window. Friends At NIH maintains no subcontract relationships and operates exclusively as a direct service provider to the two NIH institutes from its headquarters location at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda.
