Solicitation number EE133F-11-RQ-0335 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ).

The NAICS Code is 541711, small business size standard is 500 employees. The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) Woods Hole, MA 02543 is soliciting quotes for a contractor to provide services for the special processing of slides. The NEFSC collects tissue samples and does minimal processing in an effort to make ready for laboratory analysis. The scope of work is for the contractor to provide final processing of the tissue and deliver slides which we will examine to study the reproductive biology of fish. Work shall be performed in a "production" histology facility. Samples shall be placed in paraffin wax and thin sections (5µm) of embedded tissues shall be stained using Schiffs-Mallory trichrome (SMT) stains. The contractor location should be within 120 driving miles of 166 Water Street, Woods Hole, MA 02543 so the samples do not travel for a long period of time and to avoid complicated shipping issues since flammable preservative (ETOH=ethyl alcohol) chemicals are used. The contractor shall provide one processed glass slide (tissue mounted in wax, sectioned, stained in SMT, cover-slipped and labeled) per sample. Glass slides will be organized in slide boxes (100 slides/box). The original tissue will be returned mounted in wax on a wooden block (which can be reused).
