NIH seeks sources for 7T MRI system for neuroimaging research.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), is seeking sources for a 7 Tesla (7T) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. The system is intended for advanced neuroimaging research, requiring high-field strength for improved resolution and sensitivity. The procurement includes the MRI scanner, associated hardware, software, installation, and training. Potential vendors must demonstrate capability to supply, install, and support a 7T MRI system meeting technical specifications for human research. The place of performance is Bethesda, Maryland. This is a sources sought notice, not a solicitation, to identify qualified vendors.
