- 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 Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support/Simplified Acquisitions (SS/SA) Branch, on behalf of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Lafayette Instrument Company, Inc., 3700 Sagamore Pkwy N, Lafayette, IN 47904, for the acquisition of computer hardware and software to interface with an existing Bussey-Saksida Touch Screen Test System. The NIA has a requirement to provide additional capability on its existing Bussey-Saksida Mouse Touch Screen 8-chamber Test System that was purchased from Lafayette Instrument Company, Inc. in July 2010. Requirement includes purchasing components for four (4) additional touch screens that will expand upon and interface with the current system in place at NIA, increasing its capability and effectiveness to run multiple experiments. Purchase of four (4) Bussey touch screens for existing mouse chamber base includes software licenses, computer and interface, CI Bussey Controller Kit for four (4) stations, chambers and hardware, and a camera system for processing input. Lafayette Instrument Company, Inc. is the only known source that can provide this agency requirement as they are the sole manufacturer of touch screens for the Bussey Touch Screen computer system. This acquisition is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures using policies unique to the acquisition of commercial items prescribed in FAR Part 12, and is exempt from the competition requirements in FAR Part 6. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
