- Description
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Office of Acquisitions OA, DERA has a requirement for the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics for the purchase of a product High Brightness SC400-4 Super-Continuum Fiber Laser and Visible Filter Unit. To include fluorescence excitation laser source that is continuously tunable over the entire visible and near infrared region (410 – 2500nm) and can produce ~ 2mw of output power per nm of bandwidth. The beam should be collimated with a high M2 value (less than 1.3). Additionally, the laser should be pulsed, with a pulse width much less than 1ns but have a high repetition rate (Greater than 20 MHz), operating in the quasi–continuous regime. The SC400-4 Super-Continuum Fiber Laser instrument will permit nanometer scale localization of individual fluorophores combined. The Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics is building a custom single-molecule fluorescence detection and single-molecule manipulation instrument and the SC400-4 Super-Continuum Fiber Laser is key in the government’s research study of the interaction of nucleic-acid enzymes with DNA and RNA at the single-molecule level. This instrument will allow us to work with any combination of fluorophores and to optimize the excitation wavelengths. The items to be purchased include: (1) High Brightness fiber-supercontinuum system SC400-4 with a 4m long armored fiber output cable; and (2) Visible Filter Unit (filters 400-700 nm from SC400 output). This requirement is under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 325414, Size Standard is 500 employees. The delivery and acceptance F.O. B. Point is Bethesda, Maryland. The Government's estimated expected delivery date is 4-6 weeks or sooner after receipt of the purchase order. The reference number NHLBI- PB-(HL)-2009-151-DLM. Proposals are due June 11, 2009 by 7:30 a.m. local time. The award will be made based upon the technical specifications of the required products and delivery period in this synopsis, and to the lowest price, technically acceptable quote meeting the Government's requirements. The offerors must submit written descriptive literature of the product in their proposal, an itemized price list and warranties of the product quoted. The Government intends to evaluate offerors and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the initial offer should contain the offerors best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers, waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. The offeror's proposals must include itemized price lists of charges, complete description of services, complete address for invoice payment and purchase order delivery, prompt payment discount terms, the Dun & Bradstreet Number (DUNS), the taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and certification of business size of the company. The offeror must also register in the Government's Contractor Registry System. Note: www.ccr.gov. The proposal must reference the Solicitation number NHLBI-PB-(HL)-2009-151-DLM. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which if timely received shall be considered by the agency. Proposals must be submitted in writing to the National, Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, Office of Acquisitions, Procurement Branch, 6701 Rockledge Drive, Suite 6150B, Bethesda, MD 20892-7902, Attention: Dorothy Maxwell. Response may be submitted electronically to maxwelld@mail.nih.gov. Responses will only be accepted if dated and signed by an authorized company representative. All responsible sources may submit a quotation, which if timely received, shall be considered by the agency.
