The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-53, July 5, 2011. This is set aside for small business. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Office of Acquisitions, COAC Services Branch, has a requirement for the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), Inflammatory Disease Section. One of the focuses for the NHGRI laboratory is the identification of the function(s) of the protein, pyrin, and the relationship it has to auto inflammation. These works consists of isolation of protein from cells, which we then quantify, as well as stimulation of cells and determine cytokine production. A lot of these procedures require constant cooling and need to be performed in a cold room. Because addition equipment maybe needed to complete protein extraction, electrical outlets are required. A functional cold room is CRITICAL in maintaining productivity. Failure of equipment will cause a delay in data collection and may result in the loss of irreplaceable samples. The Inflammatory Disease Section is seeking to procure a 4 degree C cold room for refrigerated storage of bulky items and as a 4 degree C space in which experiments can be performed. The experiments must be performed in a 4 degree C space that has sufficient room to accommodate the researcher as well as the experimental materials to allow constant researcher contact and monitoring and therefore cannot be performed in a 4 degree C cabinet, such as a large refrigerator. Site Visit : A site visit will be held to address any questions. After the question and answer session, the Contractors will be escorted to the official NIH Building to assess the work area for the measurement to furnish and install the cold room (no photos are allowed): Please contact Dorothy Maxwell, Contract Specialist via email by August 5, 2011, for confirmation to attend the Site Visit at (maxwelld@mail.nih.gov).
