- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR13 - Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotations are being requested, and a separate written solicitation document will not be issued. The North American Industrial Classification Code System (NAICS) for this procurement is 334516 with a business size standard of 500 employees The Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research (LSR), National Institutes of Health, performs research in the fundamental brain mechanisms that allow sensory-motor coordination, specifically the visual/oculomotor system. During experiments we have been using hand operated electrode manipulators to move the electrode close to a single neuron in order to record its activity. A market survey was performed and it was determined that oil hydraulic micromanipulators can be obtained from small businesses. The oil hydraulic micromanipulators should allow for computational control of the electrode movement. The new models should provide higher quality data, faster. Objective: The LSR requires four each oil hydraulic micromanipulators and four each 10M (total 40 m, 7m + 3m) extension cables. The micromanipulators should perform as highly precision in a computer driven micromanipulator, provide clear data, as well as decreasing the likelihood of penetrating the brain too deeply. The following specifications are required: Oil Hydraulic Micromanipulator with stepping motor. FINE MOTORDRIVE: 30mm WEIGHT: 95g STAGE: Open Type MECHANICAL: 50mm (Z-axis) 13mm (X-axis) 18mm (Y-axis) Additional Requirements: 1. The instrument should have a factory warranty of one year and include additional (other than the original calibration that comes with the new instrument) calibrations. 2. Delivery shall be FOB Destination. 3. Final Acceptance: Final acceptance shall be provided and payment in full shall be made upon receipt and acceptance of items. Award will be made on a technically-acceptable, lowest-price basis. Technically-acceptable refers to meeting or exceeding the technical specifications delineated in this Solicitation and acceptable to the End User. Price shall not be evaluated on quotes that are determined not to be technically-acceptable. The purchase order shall be a Firm-Fixed Price Order.
