The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Invites you to submit a quotation in support of the NIH Scientific Review Evaluation Activities (SREA) Program.



The services to be provided include:

  • Overnight lodging accommodations

  • Audio/Visual Equipment and services



NIH is seeking price quotations to be in effect for the calendar years 2024 and 2025 from Hotels and Conference Facilities able to meet the requirements as stated in the attached documents including: statement of work, provisions, and clauses, and associated terms and conditions. This solicitation is for commercial services prepared in accordance with FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures.



NIH intends to establish Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with vendors whose submissions provide the best value. The ordering period for the BPAs will be valid from the time of award through December 31, 2025. The establishment of a BPA does not guarantee a vendor any orders or any order minimum.



Facilities shall be located within a fifty-mile radius of the major airports near the main NIH Campus in Bethesda Maryland or the main campus of the National Institutes of Environmental Health Services (NIEHS) in Research Triangle Park, NC. These are located as follows: NIH Main Campus, 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD USA 20892, and NIEHS Main Campus, 111 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC, USA 27709. Additionally, facilities may be located within a fifty-mile radius of major airports in the following approved cities/regions: Maryland – Annapolis, Baltimore, Bethesda, College Park, Gaithersburg, Rockville, National Harbor, and Silver Spring; Northern Virginia; and Washington, District of Columbia; California – Los Angeles, Long Beach, Santa Monica, San Diego, and San Francisco; Florida – Tampa and Orlando; Illinois – Chicago; Louisiana – New Orleans; Missouri – St. Louis; North Carolina – Raleigh and Durham; Washington – Seattle; Colorado – Denver; Texas – Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio; Pennsylvania – Philadelphia.



Ordering Period:



Upon award through December 31, 2025



Competitive Ordering Procedures:



The NIH intends to establish multiple BPAs within the locations provided in the description section. Under the established BPAs, orders over the micro-purchase threshold up to the maximum order limit (MOL) of $250,000, will be competed only amongst other established SREA BPA holders within the respective location needed by the requestor. No outside bidding will be sought beyond the original competition for the BPA. However, if there is an insufficient number of BPAs to ensure maximum competition for a location, the contracting officer shall follow ordering procedures under FAR 13.303-5(d).



Schedule for Pre-Bid Presentations:



Prior to the proposal submission deadline, CSR intends to schedule pre-bid presentations for potential Offerors. The presentations are ONLY for potential offerors that can provide commercially available conference and meeting support services, overnight lodging accommodations, and audio/visual equipment in support of CSR’s peer review.
