- Description
- (i) This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. (ii) The solicitation number is HHS-NIH-NHLBI-CSB-HI-2015-053-CDB and the solicitation is issued as a request for proposal (RFP). Offerors shall submit their proposals no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time(EST) on Friday, January 30, 2015. Questions shall be submitted no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on January 22, 2015. (iii) The solicitation document, the incorporated provisions and clauses are those in the Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-78, effective December 26, 2014. (iv) The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 339112 and the small business size standard is 500 Employees. The acquisition is being conducted in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13. PURPOSE: The purpose of this requirement is to procure a maintenance agreement for various laboratory equipment/instruments located in the core facilities in the Division of Intramural Research (DIR) at the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI).   BACKGROUND: The mission of the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research (DIR) is to perform robust scientific and clinical research leading to a better understanding of biology and clinical pathology. To attain this goal, we have built a strong basic science foundation and coupled it closely with innovative technology development and outstanding clinical research both at the NIH Clinical Center and in partnership with local hospitals. The purview of our research is broad, encompassing investigations into the basic principles of molecular, cellular, and organ-level biology and their relationship to disease. Some current areas of fundamental interest include single molecule structure; protein assembly; molecular and cell biology; cell signaling and motility; membrane trafficking; physiology; systems biology; engineering and technology development. Insights into disease mechanisms derived from basic studies form the basis for translational research into new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. DIR investigators also conduct concept-based clinical studies in the areas of interventional and surgical cardiology; pulmonary medicine; sickle cell anemia; bone marrow transplant; and hematologic disorders. Providing state-of-the-art training in basic, translational, and clinical research for the next generation of scientific and clinical leaders is a high priority. This program provides opportunities for scientists and trainees to work together towards a better understanding of molecular machines, the cell, the body, and ultimately the treatment of human diseases. The Genetics and Developmental Biology Center (GDBC) is dedicated to investigating the roles of genes and gene networks in a variety of biological processes related to organismal development and the maintenance of homeostasis. In addition, there is a significant emphasis on understanding the molecular mechanisms by which these cellular regulatory components are disrupted to cause disease, and how they can be manipulated to develop new gene-based and other therapies. GDBC investigators make use of a variety of approaches to answer these questions, including model genetic systems like Drosophila, fluorescent imaging, and genomic technologies. Due to flooding problems in the lab, the darkroom will be removed. Fluorescent microscopes work best in dark conditions, therefore, the modification and upgrade of the fluorescent microscope is required so that it can be used effectively in a lit environment.
