The incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2005 - 41, dated April 13, 2010. This acquisition will be processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) and is a small business set-aside. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 333314, which has a small-business size standard is 500 employees. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease intends to procure a Rock Imager Compound Zoom UV from Formulatrix. Item/Description/Quantity: 1) Rock Imager Compound Zoom US option, #UVZ, qty-2 each; 2) Rock Imager 54/182 UV field retrofit, qty-2 each; 3) Shipping, qty-1 each, and 4) Installation, qty-1 each. This Rock Imager will be retrofitted with the two imaging systems currently operational in the laboratory. This will include installation of 3 lenses with the objectives 3.6x, 6.2x, and 8.0x on each Rock Imager along with hardware and installation of each component with calibration and installation and integration of software with Rock Maker crystallization software. This will allow greater sensitivity in protein crystal detection by using fluorescence of tryptophan under UV light to reveal information about crystallization drops. The Rock Imager must have the following characteristics: (1) use of the fluorescence of tryptophan under UV light to reveal critical new information about crystallization setups, (2) ability to distinguish protein crystals from other crystal types, (3) ability to find crystals that remain hidden when viewed under visible light, (4) ability to retrofit to currently existing Rock Imager systems, and (5) use of 100% UV-optimized components- UV-grade optics, UV-sensitive camera, and UV lighting. These components are critical to achieving the best image quality and highest imaging speed possible. After being retrofitted with the UV option the Rock Imagers must retain the same high-quality visible light components. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1) price, 2) capability to meet required specifications, and 3) delivery. Delivery shall be made 20 weeks from date of award.
