This acquisition will be processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) and is not small business concern. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 334516, which has a business size standard of 500. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases intends to procure from Miltenyi Biotec on a sole source basis laboratory equipment and accessories of the following Items/Qty/Description: A) Laminar Hood Plate (Qty 1) metal plate for operating the autoMACS Pro separator in a laminar flow hood. B) Angle Connector Set 15-/9-PIN Sub-D (Qty 1) a space-saving angle adaptors for cables connecting to the autoMACS pro Separator. C) Protection Cover (Qty 1) Protection foil for storage of the autoMACS Separator. D) Chill 15 Rack (Qty 1) Cooling tube rack for 15 mL sample tubes. E) Washing Solution, 6 x 1.5 liters (Qty 1) for rinsing and cleaning of the autoMACS Pro Separator, and E) Separator Training/Installation. The AutoMACS Pro Starting Kit will be an upgrade to the current equipment being used, the AutoMACS Classic. The autoMACS Pro Separator, an automated magnetic separation system, was developed to isolate specific subpopulations of cells from larger heterogeneous populations. The system allows for positive selection or depletion of cells and biomolecules without affecting their function or viability. The autoMACS Pro Separator can separate and label up to 6 samples (for positive or negative selection) sequentially without the need of user intervention. Separated material can go directly to culture, flow cytometric sorting or analysis, functional studies, or transplantation without detaching the MicroBeads. The AutoMACS Pro is unique due to the following features: 1)A Barcode reader ('code reader') or touchscreen activated automated cell isolation system with pre-programmed isolation protocols that are utilized by the integrated computer, 2) Sequential separation and labeling of up to six samples without user intervention for both negative and positive selection, 3) Six samples can consist of both manually and autolabelled cells. 4) Custom cooling sample rack to keep samples cool during the separation process, 5) Reagents used for auto-labeling are the same as used for manual protocols using MACS Reagents, 6) System uses biodegradable 50 nm super-paramagnetic MicroBeads (iron) coated with polysaccharide that form a colloidal suspension. 7) MicroBeads are directly conjugated to monoclonal antibodies, Separation time of 3-10 minutes, depending on the program, 8) Input volume of 100 μl to 50 ml. 9) Automated system cleaning. 10) Patented columns: Dual super paramagnetic, bio-Teflon® coated matrix columns that are reusable over a two week period or up to 100 separations, whichever comes first, 11) High-gradient magnetic field optimized for cell isolation while maintaining optimal cell viability and function and 12) Sensitivity: Highly pure selection and recoveries of very rare populations, frequencies down to 10-8. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1) technical capability to meet required specifications. 2) price, and 3) warranty. Place of delivery NIH/NIAID, Rockville, Maryland, 20852. The government will award a fixed price purchase order to the responsible contractor.
