Karl Storz AIDA, Wireless and Cart System (Notice of Intent to sole source)

outside the CC Operating Room while still capturing, storing, and interfacing images and videos for bronchoscopy procedures on adult and pediatric patients within the Clinical Center. Justification: The NIH Operating Room (OR) currently utilizes the Karl Storz AIDA System and StreamConnect for capturing, storing, and interfacing images and videos. By utilizing the same system outside the OR, we can increase consistency for process, diagnostics, and storage while allowing us to utilize the interfacing process already in place thus reducing cost. The Karl Storz AIDA System and StreamConnect Application are not compatible with outside manufacturers� products. Purchase of a system from a different manufacturer would result in additional costs to the government associated with implementation and customization of a system to interface with existing electronic medical record. The requested equipment must be integrated with existing NIH-owned electronic medical records using the already established interface. The manufacturer utilizes proprietary hardware/software interfaces and data protocols that are not available from other sources or distributers. Use of an alternate product would require significant system modification, revalidation, retraining, and could adversely affect continuity of operations and data comparability. The manufacturer sells directly and is the only source capable of providing equipment that meets the Government's compatibility requirements. Place of Performance or Delivery: Delivery within Place of Performance: NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 1901 (a) (1) as implemented by FAR 13.106-1 only one responsible source and no other supply of service will satisfy agency requirements. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. All responsible sources that could provide the required may submit a capability statement that will be considered by email (subject line to reference NOI-CC-26-008655) by 10:00 AM eastern standard time on 08/28/2026 to: lu-chang.lu@nih.gov All responses received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
