NIH Clinical Center blood-product storage equipment procurement for two plasma storage freezers and one blood bank refrigerator. The notice identifies Helmer equipment and an intended Helmer award. Targeted WorkDrive searches found no verified Dr. Miltie Helmer, blood-bank refrigeration, plasma-freezer, or laboratory-refrigeration capability, so no direct federal response is advanced absent new documentary evidence.
