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-NIDA-OA-19-008621-CSS and the solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This acquisition is for a commercial item or service and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures and FAR Part 12-Acquisition of Commercial Items. This acquisition is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Office of Acquisition on behalf of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order for an AKTA Liquid Chromatography System brand-name or equal to Model AKTA pure 25 M, manufactured by GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corporation, 100 Results Way, Marlborough, Massachusetts 01752, that includes: (a) Part number: 29018226. Description: AKTA pure 25 M. Quantity: 1-Each; (b) Part number: 29011357. Description: Inlet Valve Kit V9 IAB. Quantity: 1-Each; (c) Part number: 28956342. Description: Adapter for air sensor. Quantity: 2-Each; (d) Part number: 28956502. Description: Air sensor L9 1.2mm. Quantity: 1-Each; (e) Part number: 28956327. Description: Bottleholder. Quantity: 1-Each; (f) Part number: 29011356. Description: Outlet Valve Kit V9 Os 1 outlet. Quantity: 1-Each; and (g) Part number: 29027743. Description: Fraction collector F9 C Each. Quantity: 1-Each. (iii) This solicitation incorporates the provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2019-05, effective August 13, 2019. (iv) The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code: 334516-Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; Size Standard: 1,000 Employees. (v) AKTA Liquid Chromatography System (vi) Background / Purpose / Objective: The purpose of this purchase is to get a chromatography system for purification of proteins used in study of Na/K ATPase. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Molecular Neurophysiology Section (MNU) studies the regulation and function of membrane proteins the Na/K ATPase. Transporter that moves three potassium ions inside and two sodium ions outside the chemical gradient using ATP hydrolysis. The chromatography system will be used to study the functionality of purified protein. AKTA Liquid Chromatography System is used to separate a sample into its individual parts. This separation occurs based on the interactions of the sample with the mobile and stationary phases. The government's essential feature for the AKTA Liquid Chromatography System are: (a) Proteins can be sensitive to heat and temperature variation. Protein degradation is a concern. The contractor shall demonstrate how their equipment is sufficient to run samples through the column for long holds to warm up, so a lamp can diffuse the sample. The system should not contribute heat to the flow cell during detection; (b) The system shall have the ability to perform multimode protein purification where a second UV monitor can be added for this purpose; (c) System shall have the ability for a second fraction collector to be added for larger capacity; (d) UV signal shall be temperature independent and not fluctuate with change in flow rate; (e) Durable system with bioinert materials which are not susceptible to prolonged exposure to acid and basic chemical components; (f) The system shall have the ability to visualize collection data in real time and interact with the variables in a manual mode to make collection adjustments; (g) The system shall have the ability to change valve positions and pump inlet positions to perform column wash steps and increase or decrease pump speed during a method or manual run. The inability to adjust flow path and flow rates causes interruptions in the run requiring the users to stop the system to make adjustments. The delay can cause proteins to degrade; and (h) Quantity: One (1) Each. (vii) Government's Anticipated Delivery: Within thirty (30) Days After Receipt of Order (ARO). Delivery Point: FOB Destination. Delivery Location: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Bethesda, Maryland 20892. The successful offeror shall coordinate delivery arrangements with the customer prior to shipment. The Loading Dock hours are as follows: 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Eastern Time, Monday through Friday except on Federal holidays.
