- Description
- GSN9CS61IJ3 Sole Source Synopsis The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), Bethesda, Maryland, intends to negotiate a contract, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR Part 13.106-1 (b), with Global Medical Instrumentation (GMI) to supply a Photonyx Chemi Super 16 System with 20cm x 20cm Transilluminator. The Photonyx Chemi Super 16 System with 20cm x 20cm Transilluminator is being procured as a commercial item in accordance with the procedures in FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) and FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures). The sole source determination is based on the government's minimum requirements as follows: •- Xplore software •- Computer controlled motor-driven zoom lens with feedback •- Easy-slide UV transilluminator with variable intensity setting •- Digital CCD camera with USB2 connection - 1.4 Mega pixels resolution with 16 bit depth •- The very latest high resolution CCD cameras for use in general, gel documentation or the more advanced specification units for fluorescence and chemiluminescence work. •- Ultra-peltier cooling for camera •- Ethidium Bromide & SYBR Green •- Darkroom is fully microprocessor controlled so that functions such as camera settings, lens control (including feedback data), filter selection and lighting can all be set up from a PC. Also, user functions like camera exposure, neutral fielding, dynamic range and darkroom facilities (door lock, UV shut off) are also selected from the desktop. •- Auto switch off function for UV •- Real time live image for easy focusing and positioning •- Automatic exposure control •- Automatic focus configurations •- Image sequence capture and display •- Saturation detection for quantitative applications •- Image annotation, enhancement and manipulation control •- Image sharpening and smoothing •- Style control (lines size, color, fonts) •- Image cropping feature •- Export image in range of formats (TIF, BMP, JPEG, PCX, GIF, WPG) •- Direct link to analysis software •- Choice of selecting either manual or computer driven filter selectors and a range of lighting options for both reflected and transmitted light applications •- Unique illumination options with capabilities for: NovaGlo Visible Llight, Blue Light Conversion, White Epi Light, Dual UV Light and Blue Epi Llight (UV Transilluminator is also included) a wide range of options from transmitted to overhead lighting modules. The abovementioned characteristics are required to effectively clarify the amount of specific RNA proteins and specific DNA segments as molecular markers in order to trace the response of breast cancer cells to chemotherapy to a higher degree of certainty. Nyx Technik is the original manufacturer of the Photonyx Transilluminator, and GMI is the only authorized dealer in the United States. This is not a request for quote. However, all interested parties may contact the Contract Specialist listed below. Sources interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide the aforementioned system as specified. Additionally, a determination by the government not to compete this proposed contractual action based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the government. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to tosin.abari@usuhs.mil. The deadline for the submittal of responses is March 12, 2009, 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
