- INTRODUCTION PURSUANT TO FAR Subpart 5.2-Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF A PROPOSED CONTRACT TO 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 Aging (NIA) intends to negotiate and award a contract/purchase order to PerkinElmer Health Sciences, Inc. for an upgrade to a malfunctioning PerkinElmer UltraVIEW Spinning Disk Confocal System. NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516 - Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing REGULATORY AUTHORITY The resultant contract/purchase order will include all applicable provisions and clauses of the Federal acquisition Requlation (FAR) in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05- 2005-94 and 2005-95. Effective 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. "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT Product Description, Purpose and Objectives: The Laboratory of Molecular Gerontology (LMG), NIA, NIH, is in need of a new dichroic combiner and updated digital microscope camera for one of its confocal microscopes. The LMG spinning disk microscope is used by all sections of the LMG for Immunofluorescent, Telomere, Co-localization, and DNA laser targeting experiments. These techniques are performed by the LMG for its own research and in coordination with other NIA labs that they collaborate with. The camera and filter are malfunctioning and need replacing. Use of this confocal system has been minimized by this issue and NIA can only image samples that use long wavelength signals which has greatly decreased what experiments can be performed at this time. This new generation camera and filter will not only correct this but also allow for faster imaging, increasing the functionality of the microscope. Salient Characteristics Required 1. Must be able to view and capture images of cells (fixed and live) using different fluorescent wavelengths 2. Must be able to quickly acquire fluorescent images across 4 different wavelengths via different objectives. Included software should be able to analyze the captured images. 3. Must be able to image at a minimum of 70 frames/second. 4. Must offer a one (1) year warranty from date of purchase for both the digital microscope camera and the dichroic combiner Quantity One (1) Dichroic Combiner; One (1) Digital Microscope Camera Period of Performance: 60 days ARO CLOSING STATEMENT This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice. Responses to this notice must include sufficient information to establish the interested parties' bona-fide capabilities of providing the product or service. The price quote shall include: unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, delivery days after contract award, delivery terms, prompt payment discount terms, F.O.B. Point (Destination or Origin), product or catalog number(s); product description; and any other information or factors that may be considered in the award decision. Such factors may include: past performance; special features required for effective program performance; trade-in considerations; probable life of the item selected as compared with that of a comparable item; warranty considerations; maintenance availability; and environmental and energy efficiency considerations. In addition the Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS), the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and the certification of business size must be included in the response. All offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov." A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The information received will normally be considered solely for the purposes of determining whether to proceed on a non-competitive basis or to conduct a competitive procurement. All responses must be received by September 19, 2017 by 5:00pm EST and must reference number HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-SB-17-390. Responses must be submitted electronically to Bruce Anderson at bruce.anderson@nih.gov and must reference the solicitation number HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-SS-17-390, on your electronic request. FAX requests are not accepted. "All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency."
