What the notice says
This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (NIH-CC) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with the following vendor: Philips Healthcare. Acquistion Description: The Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences (RAD&IS) provides imaging services to CC patients who participate in research protocols conducted by the various NIH institutes. Imaging services include X-rays, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, computed tomography (CT) scans and interventional radiology (special… (show all)
procedures). Diagnostic services in ultrasound, digital mammography, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), and nuclear medicine are also provided. All these diagnostic modalities generate clinical diagnostic images that are sent to and archived on the RAD&IS�s Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). The departmental radiologists review the diagnostic images and dictate clinical findings using a Voice Recognition system (VRS). The finds are saved in reports which are stored in the RAD&IS�s Radiology Information System (RIS) and forwarded to the Clinical Research Information System or the Clinical Center�s Hospital Information System (CRIS) which is an Altera Digital Health Sunrise Clinical Manager (v20). We generate ~40000 imaging examinations (CT, MR, PET, XA, US, NM, etc.) per year, but also intake another 30 to 40,000 exams from outside sources (collaborators, screening, outside acquisitions, etc..). Our current Philips Vue PACS has ~2.3 million exams, of which ~530,000 are NIH generated, with reports from NIH physicians. We have a primary need to replace our Voice Recognition System as it no longer fulfills our needs for stability and accuracy. Our market research has shown that Nuance PowerScribe is desirable among our Radiologist users. As such PowerScribe needs to be fully integrated into our current Philips Carestream Clinical PACS. The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 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-25-008845) by 12:00 PM eastern standard time on 07/25/2025 to: valerie.gregorio@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.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $PWR reported $32.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 13 past awards, $99.0M, is 0.3% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
