The United States Department Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), KBUSLIRL in Kerrville, TX currently intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to Okenfels Syntech GmbH for an electrophysiology system for quantifying the summed antennal responses of important livestock pest flies to various chemicals in their environment in order to develop novel attractants and evaluate modification in their olfactory physiology following targeted gene editing. The equipment package will include: -an acquisition controller for measuring the physiological response and accompanying analysis software. The controller must acquire recordings of low frequency signals (0-20 Hz) from biological preparations, and it must include an interface that manages signal conditioning, amplification, analog-digital conversion, filtering and data transfer. The software must enable: real-time recording and display of ElectroAntennogram signals (EAG) and calculation and display of EAG maxima and normalized values and of means and standard deviations. -a stimulus controller for precise delivery of the odorants. The unit must allow precise control of flow and timing of odorant delivery -a micromanipulator for mounting insects and inserting electrodes. The micromanipulator must have joystick control of positioner and must interface with the software that manages the acquisition controller.� NAICS Code is 334516.� Award is in accordance with both 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 13.106-1 (b)(1)(i) �
