- Description
- This is a notice of intent and not a request for competitive proposal. A solicitation document will not be issued and proposals will not be requested. The National Institute on Drug Abuse, Office of Acquisitions-Neurosciences, Station Support/Simplified (SS/SA) Acquisition Branch, on behalf of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) intends to negotiate on a FAR 12 basis and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to BD Biosciences 2350 Qume Drive, San Jose CA 95131-1807. Delivery Time 15 to 30 days after receipt of order. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) has a requirement to purchase FacsAriaII, product number 643695, one (1) ea. The system includes the following: 488 nm, 405nm and 355nm lasers. 10 parameters: Forward Scatter, Side Scatter, 4 fluorescent detectors off 488 nm laser (50mw) plus side scatter, 2 fluorescent detectors off 405 nm laser (60mw), and 2 fluorescent detectors off 355nm laser (100mw). Laser Control Software allow the adjustment of power settings for the following Coherent lasers in the system (blue, Violet, UV) as well as monitoring key performance parameters of the Coherent lasers. Fluidics cart: includes sheath, waste, and cleaning containers 70- (Qty 3), 85- (Qty 2), 100- (Qty 2), 130-(Qty 1) micron nozzle tips Two- and four-way sorting into microtubes, 12 x 75-mm, and 15 mL tubes Sample injection chamber for various sample input tubes, including microtubes, 12 x 75-mm, and 15 mL tubes. Includes sample agitation and temperature control Automated Cell Deposition Unit (ACDU) AMO ready Optical filters to detect the following fluorophores: Blue laser PE, Cy5.5, PE,TxRd,PE,FITC 405nm Laser Pacific Blue, AmCyan Additional filter for Pacific Orange will be included m UV Laser Alexa 350, SP filter set The HP Computer Workstation includes: Intel Cors# Duo 2.67 GHz, 4MB, 1068MHz FSB(CPU)HHP 2.66GHz 2GB XPP/SP2 Workstation 128 PCI E Video Card 2GB DDR2-667 ECC RAM 16x DVD +/-RW 1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive Network Cards (10/100/1000) Keyboard USB Optical Mouse Symantec Norton Ghose Microsoft Office 2007 Windows XP Two-19-INCH NEC LCD 1980NXI COLOR LCD DISPLAY RICOH AFICIO CL3500N Printer Bundle TEMPERATURE CONTROL OPTION: (115V) Water recirculator bath for cooling of the sort collection device for tubes and multiwell plates for BD FACSAria, operation at 116V. AEROSOL MANAGEMENT FOR BD FACSARIA 120V: AMO for enhanced removal of aerosols in the ACDU chamber for BD FACSAria, operational at 120V. The BD FacsAriaII Instrument comes with the FACSDiVA software for durability with existing NINDS cell sorter. The FacsAriaII is a high speed cell sorter that requires no user optical alignment, laser alignment or laser focus. It is a high speed cell sorter that has a gel-coupled cuvette that collects 4 times as much excitation light through improving sensitivity in signal detection. The FacAriaII has a cloning unit that can have unique sort regions for different wells within the same 96 well plate with the ability to chill or heat the 96 well trays. The FACSAriaII is the only high speed cell sorter that offers Accudrop technology, Accudrop technology allows the operator to monitor side streams while sorting. Accudrop provides for a faster sort set-up providing the operator with a visual display of the sort set-up. The FacAriaII requires no special room adjustments. It is designed to fit on a standard laboratory bench top with a cytometer footprint of 28 deep by 48 wide by 28high. FacAriaII only requires a signal 20 amp 120 vac outlets for the entire system including the laser, vacuum and air supplies. The acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition using FAR 12 procedures and is exempt from the requirements of FAR Part 6, Competition Requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon response to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Comments to this announcement, referencing synopsis number NOI1076208 may be submitted to the NIDA, Station Support/Simplified Acquisition Branch, 31 Center Drive, Bldg 31, Room 1B59, Bethesda, MD 20892-2080, Attention Kathleen Gregory, Contract Specialist.
