- Description
- The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support/Simplified Acquisition (SS/SA) on behalf of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) seeks to procure on a sole source basis a Cellometer Vision Trio cell profiler system with Nexcelom Bioscience LLC, 360 Merrimack Street, Building 9, Lawrence, MA 01843. This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12 - Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made pursuant to the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) and FAR 13.5 01-(a)(1) to use Simplified Acquisition Procedure for commercial items. The North American Industry Classification System Code for this acquisition is 334516 and the business size standard is 500 employees. The NINDS Neural Coding and Computation Section (NCC) seeks to purchase a cell counter that can quantify the number of and strength of fluorescence protein expression in order to test expression and function of virus constructs. NINDS-NCC staff found that the Nexcelom Cellometer Vision is the only such cell counter that combines multichannel fluorescence intensity measurement of cells on a simple disposable counting chamber. It can rapidly count cells with a diameter range from 5 to 70 microns and a concentration range of 2.5 x 105 to 1 x107 cells using a minimal amount of cell solution. The disposable counting chamber eliminates cross contamination between samples. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a statement of capabilities. All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow the NIDA/NINDS to determine if it can meet the above unique specifications described herein. An original and one copy of the capability statement must be received in the Office of Acquisitions, NIDA, on or before 3:00 PM ET June 26, 2009. All questions must be in writing and can be emailed to Liem T Nguyen at ln18x@nih.gov or faxed to 301-480-1358 on or before 3:00 PM ET June 25, 2009. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to receive an award from the NIDA vendor must be registered in the Online Representations and Certifications Applications (ORCA) at http://orca.bpn.gov. In addition, vendor must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at www.ccr.gov. No collect calls will be accepted. Please reference announcement number NOI-1123364 on all correspondence.
