This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Health intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with the following vendor: GE Precision Healthcare LLC (BK Medical Holding Company, Inc.). Acquisition Description: Request to urgently procure 2 BK Medical E14CL4b Biplane Endocavity transducer Transrectal and Transvaginal probes catalog number 9048.
