- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and written solicitation will not be issued.This solicitation number is RFQ453989 and solicitation is issued as request for quotation (RFQ).The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-24. Delivery and acceptance will be at Bethesda, Maryland. The National Institute on Drug Abuse on behalf of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has requirement for a microplate reader with a softmax pro software. Specification (1) The microplate must have 6- to 384- well microplate capabilities for all 5 modes (ABS, FI, TRF,FP,LUM). (2) Must have dual monochromators for turnable FP wavelength selection between 400 nm and 750 nm for excitation and emission wavelengths. (3) Must have dual monochromators for turnable FI, TRF wavelength selection between 250 nm and 850 nm for excitation and emission wavelengths and turnable luminescence between 250 nm and 850nm. (4) Must have turnable absorbance wavelength selection between 200 nm and 1000 nm, must have both top and bottom reading optics for improved sensitivity in our cell based assays. (5) Must have a 4 nm absorbance bandwidth for superior peak resolution and increased accuracy of measurements for narrow bandwidth samples. (6) Must have automatic PMT setting to adjust the optimum voltage for each well sample concentration and then normalize the raw data to show RFU values. Wells are selectivity reread at the optimal PMT setting, Photo-bleaching is eliminated because wells are not read unnecessarily. (7) must have dual PMTs; an enhanced, low background PMT for high sensitivity luminescence measurements including luciferase-based reporter gene assays and a separate digital/analog PMT for fluorescence reads. (8) Must have increased throughout for fast kinetic assays when 8 or 16 wells of microplate are analyzed simultaneously rather than one well at a time. (9) Must simultaneously transfer from 96 or 384 distinct well of compound from a designated source microplate to the read plate via 8- or 16- channel pipettor. (10) Must be able to optimize dispense parameters for each addition. (11) Must include one year warranty,covering parts and labor. This includes allowing up to 3 additions per well, trituration (mixing of well contents through repeated aspiration and dispensing) of the source plate to resuspend compounds or quickly mix reagents in read plate to promote an even, rapid response. Specific evaluation criteria: (1) Ability to meet technical requirements (2) ability to deliver on time and within specification. The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Commercial, applies to this acquisition. The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation Commercial Items, is applicable. Offers will also be evaluated on best value in relation to price. Offerors must include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications Commercial Items, with its offer. Clause at 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Condition Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. Clause at 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statues or Executive Orders Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The quotations are due March 28, 2008 12:00 PM Est and will be submitted to Kathleen Gregory, Contract Specialist, 31 Center Drive, Room 1B59, Bethesda, Maryland 20892. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (20-MAR-2008); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
