Active — Notice of Intent to Sole Source / Capability Statements Accepted
PCA-NIA-02936
NIH BLSA Neuroimaging Image Processing Services — PCA-NIA-02936
NIH notice of intent for Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging neuroimaging image-processing services. Capability statements are due September 23, 2026 at 12:00 PM EDT.
FundingNo fixed contract value is stated in the public notice.
DeadlineSeptember 23, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Last verifiedSeptember 19, 2026
Required next actionReview the live SAM.gov notice and respond only if comparable BLSA-scale longitudinal neuroimaging, MRI/CT segmentation, computational imaging, statistical inference, continuity, and past-performance capability can be documented.
Broad Eligibility
NIH intends to negotiate with Vanderbilt University. Other responsible sources may submit timely capability information if they can demonstrate comparable specialized neuroimaging and longitudinal image-processing capability.
Atlas Analysis
The requirement is highly specialized neuroimaging image-processing work for the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. A targeted WorkDrive search found no documented Dr. Miltie BLSA neuroimaging, MRI/CT segmentation, or comparable computational-imaging capability, so no direct federal response is being advanced.
Opportunity Overview
The National Institutes of Health has posted PCA-NIA-02936 for image-processing services supporting the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. The notice is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source, not a request for proposal. NIH intends to negotiate with Vanderbilt University for specialized longitudinal neuroimaging analysis.
Deadline
Capability statements are due September 23, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time.
Scope
The requirement concerns advanced analysis of BLSA neuroimaging data, including methods for massively univariate imaging inference and longitudinal MRI/CT image processing involving muscle and fat segmentation and related computational imaging work.
Competition
NIH identifies Vanderbilt University as the intended sole-source provider. Other responsible sources that can demonstrate comparable technical capability may submit a capability statement by the stated deadline. The Government will determine whether any response supports a competitive acquisition.
