- Description
- This is a notice of intent, not a request for a proposal. A solicitation document will not be issued and proposals will not be requested. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Station Support/Simplified Acquisition (SS/SA) Branch, on behalf of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)-Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit intends to negotiate and award a sole source purchase order to Solamere Technology Group, 1427 Perry Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84103-4474 for a Spinning Disk System. The Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit in NINDS conduct research on the regulation of the microtubule cytoskeleton and the defects in this regulation in neurodegenerative disorders. The study is aimed at deciphering the cell biological and biophysical mechanism of cytoskeletal regulators. In order to conduct any of these studies, NINDS need to observe in real time microtubule dynamics in living cells, thus the need to acquire a spinning disk confocal system this is necessary for live cell imaging of fast biological processes. Solamere Technology Group requisite has the experience and expertise in the use of a spinning disc system as well as its integration that is needed with NINDS’ current laser system and microscope. Solamere Technology Group’s Confocal is the only company in position to fully integrate and support high-speed confocal imaging systems, combined with TIRF and epi-fluorescent applications. Solamere Technology Group’s dual fiber system is unique in that the fibers remain critical aligned to the incoming laser beams and that polarization of the laser beam is used to divide power between the two output, single mode fiber optics. Solamere Technology Group is the only source for cameras and software that can collect and image extremely low emitters such as luciferin-luciferase produced by circadian rhythm linked to proteins in brain slices. The acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition using FAR Part 12 procedures and exempt from the requirement of FAR Part 6, Competition Requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Comments to this announcement, referencing synopsis number 2027461 may be submitted to the NIDA, Station Support/Simplified Acquisition Branch, 31 Center Drive, Room 1B59, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-2080 and Attention: Jasmine Snoddy, Contract Specialist.
