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 Anti-Vibration Table brand-name or equal to the STACIS iX Laser Table Base Piezoelectric Active Vibration Cancellation System manufactured by Technical Manufacturing Corporation, 15 Centennial Drive, Peabody, MA, 01960-7901. (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: 334519- Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, Size Standard: 500 employees. (v) Anti-Vibration Table (vi) Background / Purpose / Objective: The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is establishing a new laboratory that will use cutting-edge physiological, imaging, and behavioral methods to investigate the relationship between human neurological disorders and brain function at the molecular, synaptic, cellular, and circuit levels. The new laboratory will include two multiphoton microscopes. The microscopes will require a large anti-vibration table tailored to address low frequency (1-3 Hz) vibration as well as to dampen the higher frequencies typically problematic in multiphoton microscopy. Specifications: Anti-Vibration Table must have the following minimum specifications: (1) patented Stacis iX piezoelectric, active vibration cancellation technology; (2) 4' x 5' x 8' in XY dimension; (3) a digital controller with menu driven interface and LCD display; (4) critically damped MaxDamp TM pneumatic isolators for fast settling and excellent stability, begin by 0.6 Hz, and -6 dB at 1 Hz, 15 to -20 dB at 2 Hz, 22 to -24 dB above 3 Hz; (5) the optical top should be 4' x 5' x 8" 28" height frame, with individual sealed holes, non-load bearing cups; (6) 3/16" thick ferromagnetic stainless-steel top plate, matted finish; ¼-20 countersunk and tapped holes at 1" O.C. array, with plated steel honeycomb core; (7) 49" 2 cell size; 13.3 pounds / 3 foot density; (8) maximum damping, research grade; (9) provides unequaled performance at both high and low frequencies, in 6 axes; (10) requires 80 psi compressed air or nitrogen, and standard 110 VAC power; (11) inside delivery, assembly, and installation in the laboratory; and (12) Field Engineer services for on-site system initialization, optimization and certification. (vii) Government's Anticipated Delivery: Within Ninety (90) Days After Receipt of Order (ARO). Delivery Point: FOB Destination. Delivery Location: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Building 35A, Bethesda, Maryland 20892.
