- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.� This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is 75N95020P00551 and the solicitation is issued as 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 and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. Humans self-administer nicotine, a key substance contained in tobacco products, by inhaling smokes or vapor (i.e. aerosol).� To investigate the neurobiological mechanisms of nicotine self-administration, The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Intramural Research Program (IRP) requires a device that facilitates a study of nicotine self-administration via the inhalation route in rodents, a method that mimics how humans self-administer nicotine. The Neurocircuitry of Motivation Section (NMS) aims to understand neural circuits that mediate compulsive behaviors such as drug-taking and drug-seeking behaviors.� NMS uses rodent models to achieve this goal.� The intravenous administration method has been used extensively to induce drug self-administration behavior.� However, humans do not self-administer nicotine through the intravenous route, but the inhalation route.� To mimic human administration method, NIDA requires a device that enables its subjects to self-administer nicotine via the inhalation method and to perform operant conditioning procedures. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2020-06, dated 05-06-2020.
