(iv)�� The associated NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, and the small business size standard is 1,000. �The acquisition is being conducted in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13.� (v)�� The Contractor Requirements are listed below: 1.0�� PURCHASE ORDER TITLE Acquisition of a JPK NanoWizard� 4 XP Nano Science Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) System) �� 2.0�� BACKGROUND The mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and to apply that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. � As part of the NIH, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Intramural Research Program (IRP) conducts biomedical research and training related to diabetes mellitus; endocrine, bone, and metabolic diseases; digestive diseases, including liver diseases and nutritional disorders; and kidney, urologic, and hematologic diseases. Intramural research is conducted in the Institute's laboratories and clinical facilities in Bethesda, Maryland and in Phoenix, Arizona. � Miroshnikova lab and the Section on Nuclear Mechanotransduction and Cell Fate Dynamics is part of Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB), which is one of NIDDK IRP 17 Laboratories and Branches. �Miroshnikova lab�s work requires, on an ongoing basis, advanced mechanical characterization methods to qualitatively complement other assays, as well as quantitate the major experimental conditions of the section in living cells and organisms. JPK�s atomic force microscope is leading, high-resolution system combing atomic resolution and fast scanning with rates of up to 150 lines/sec and a large scan range of 100�m in one system allowing cell-cell force quantification in addition to mechanical properties of cells, organelles and tissues. It is designed to provide highest mechanical and thermal stability on inverted optical microscopes during long term experiments on samples ranging from single molecules to living cells and tissues. Thus, it is ideal for live cell and tissue/organism imaging and quantitation, which is at the core of Miroshnikova lab operations. 3.0�� OBJECTIVE The objective of this requirement is to purchase a new live-sample microscope system with DirectOverlay� 2 software compatibility for perfect integration and data correlation with advanced fluorescence microscopy platforms; meaning that the system must allow calibration of optical images and precisely overlay both the optical and the AFM images. This system must conduct mechanical characterization and cell-cell adhesion measurements due to 100micron z scan size, as well as side visualization of the sample. 4.0 �� SALIENT / REQUIRED FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS The new equipment must include the below features necessary to satisfy day to day Miroshnikova lab operations.
