- THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT, NOT A REQUEST FOR A PROPOSAL. A SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED AND PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE REQUESTED. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), Office of Acquisitions (OA), on behalf of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive sole source basis to Carl Zeiss MicroImaging, 1 Zeiss Drive, Thornwood, NY 10594-1939 for the following Optical Equipment: -Photometrics Evolve EMCCD Camera -Camera Adapter 8x8 EMCCD for CSU-X1 The Cytogenetics and Microscopy Core provides NHGRI Investigators with imaging services, access, and assistance with fluorescence, live cell and confocal microscopy. To perform these studies in a state-of-the-art way, the Core needs to add an electron multiplying (EMCCD) camera which enable researchers to detect things in a more realistic and native form in live cells. The EMCCD camera lets researchers detect and see things that previously were nearly impossible to see by a standard CCD camera. The sole source determination is based on the fact that Carl Zeiss MicroImaging is the only source of the Photometrics Evolve EMCCD Camera component that is compatible with the Zeiss Spinning Disc Confocal Microscope that is currently in place. It is to be integrated on the existing system for which Carl Zeiss will be performing the integration and supporting that system fully. The delivery point is the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), Bethesda, MD 20892. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 333314, Optical Instrument and Lens Manufacturing, and the associated small business size standard is 500.
