The Health and Human Services Department-Food and Drug Administration, Division of Systems Biology at the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) conducts organ-specific research using various models of liver, kidney, and cardia toxicity, among other model systems. NCTR is seeking to find small business contractors that can provide a high resolution ultrasound that can provided greater sensitivity than that of a traditional array. The FDA is seeking a device that will be able to conduct state-of-the-art in-vivo whole animal imaging using contrast agents and infrared fluorescent probes that other known imaging systems cannot detect. If you are a small business concern under NAICS CODE 334516-Analytical Lab Instrument Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 500 employees, and believe that your firm would be able to provide the FDA with a high resolution ultrasound as described, please submit an e-mail to aaron.glazier@fda.hhs.gov The vendor should include information about the company, as well as the product that meets or exceeds all of the aforementioned performance specifications. Please keep in mind the non-manufacturer rule is in effect, meaning that a small business that simply offers to resell the equipment made by a large manufacturer does not qualify as a small business. The small business must be responsible for manufacturing at least 51% of the end item solution that is being proposed. Responses to this sources sought announcement will assist the Government in determining whether or not any future requirement similar to this one should be set aside for small business or made available to full and open competition. The DEADLINE for receiving responses is 3:00 p.m. Central Time, 13 March 2012. Responses received after the deadline or without the required information shall be considered unacceptable and will not be considered.
