The Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center is the clinical research facility of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Clinical Center (CC) provides patient care, services, training and the environment in which NIH clinicians-scientists creatively translate emerging knowledge into better understanding, detection, treatment and prevention of human disease. The Clinical Center is the nation's foremost federally funded biomedical research institution. It is comprised of twenty-four (24) Institutes and Centers. The CC is the onsite hospital for the NIH campus, providing full support for clinical research in inpatient and outpatient settings. The CC facility comprises more than three million square feet of clinical, laboratory, and administrative space with the capacity to serve three hundred and fifty (350) inpatients participating in research studies at the NIH. In three years, this inpatient space will move to a new facility that is currently under construction. As a federally funded facility, continuous effort is made to use the financial resources of the Clinical Center to acquire the needed products, equipment and services at the best possible price. The acquisition staff is therefore looking to form partnerships with a limited number of companies capable of providing timely deliveries of products and services at the best possible advantage, cost/price considered, to the hospital. It is expected that for this request for quote, a limited number of blanket purchase agreements will be issued for certain medical/surgical supplies. Performance measures will be a key factor in the issuance and continuation of all agreements. Firms responding should indicate their business/economic classification. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for this project is 5047.
