- Description
- This is a Notice of Intent to award a sole source purchase order to US Food Service, Inc., P.O. Box 75368, Baltimore, MD 21275 to provide food distribution services. This requirement is for food supplies to feed patients hospitalized in the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The current contractor US Food Service products being provided to the Nutrition Department have been analyzed for nutritional safety and approved by Clinical Dietitians to be served to Clinical Center patients, many of whom are on very specialized research protocols with extreme dietary restrictions. These products meet all compliances established by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospital Organizations (JCAHO) as well as other relevant medical requirements that are integral to patient treatment. US Food Service products have been cataloged in the Department’s Nutrition Information System (CBord) planning patient meals and care plans. Any other company’s products would have to be analyzed and assessed for patient safety and compliances established by the JCAHO. The time required to complete such an analysis and assessment of new products pose an unacceptable risk and danger to patients. US Food Service has the required ability and approval to provide the necessary food supplies to the NIH Clinical Center. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement by no later than 2:00 p.m. January 29, 2009.. Your response should be submitted to Deborah Culpepper, dculpepper@cc.nih.gov. All responses received within 5 days of the publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed order based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. In any case, the government reserves the right to make an award to that offer or whose proposal provides the best overall value to the Government.
