INTRODUCTION PURSUANT TO FAR Subpart 5.2-Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF A PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTION. THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NON-COMPETITIVE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A CONTRACT OR PURCHASE ORDER WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME). The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support Contracts and Simplified Acquisitions Branch (SS/SA) on behalf of the National Institute of Drug Abuse intends to negotiate and award a contract for a Expansion of Software and Hardware for Capturing, 3D-modelling and Hosting of Histological Stained Non-human Primate Brain Images with MBF Bioscience, 185 Allen Brook Lane, Williston, VT 05495. NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 511210, Software Publishers with a Size Standard of 1000 employees. REGULATORY AUTHORITY The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses of the Federal acquisition Requlation (FAR) in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-95 and 95 January 19, 2017. STATUTORY AUTHORITY This acquisition is conducted as non-competitive under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c) under provisions of the statutory authority of FAR Subpart 6.302-1. This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.106-1 (b) (1), Soliciting from a single source. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT Purpose and Objectives The Section on Section on Neural Coding and Computation and the Laboratory of Neuropsychology requires additional software and hardware capacity to capture and process, model and host high resolution images from non-human primate brain sections. The Section on Section on Neural Coding and Computation and the Laboratory of Neuropsychology currently use a MBF Bioscience stage controller and two licenses of the MBF Bioscience Neurolucida software. Demand for capturing images has increased in the recent years and the file size of images is becoming larger with better microscopes available. The large file size also has made it difficult to host images and dsipaly images at various resolutions in a reasonable amount of time. It is important that new resources are compatible with existing resources to avoid additional costs in training, file conversion and loss of access to existing resources.
