- This is a notice of intent not a request for a proposal. A solicitation document will not be issued and proposals will not be requested. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support/Simplified Acquisition (SS/SA) Branch, on behalf of the National Institute on Neurological Disorders and Stroke, intends to solicit, negotiate under FAR 13 and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Resonance Research, Inc., 10 Cook Street-Pinehurst Business Park, Billerica, MA 01821. NINDS has a requirement for an Integrated Shielded Gradient and Shim System. The specification acquires two gradient sets to equip the new 7T/31 cm MRI system. The first gradient set will be used for high resolution imaging of the rodent brain. The second gradient set at a minimum of 450 mT/m gradient strength and a slew rate of 450 T/m/s. These specifications shall allow and significantly improve the spatial resolution of the brain MRI, which shall push forward in a major way the scientific significance of the research performed. The vendor is the only known supplier to have shielded gradient and shim system. Therefore no other products will satisfy agency requirements FAR 6.302-1. The Government intends to select and evaluate and award the offer that represents the best value to the Government, price and all other factors considered. The acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures and is exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6, Competition Requirement.
