- 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), Office of Acquisitions, Station Support/Simplified Acquisition, intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Tucker-Davis Technologies Inc. (TDT), 11930 Research Circle, Alachua, FL, 32615-6826, for the purchase of an electrophysiological recording package with TDT Systems 3 Hardware and Software for the NIDA Neuronal Networks Section in Baltimore, Maryland. The period of performance is two months from date of award. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has a requirement for an electrophysiological recording package with TDT Systems 3 Hardware and Software for the NIDA Neuronal Networks Section in Baltimore, Maryland, which is manufactured by Tucker-Davis Technologies Inc. (TDT). NIDA requires the electrophysiological recording package with TDT Systems 3 Hardware and Software to help understand how specific neurons of the brain participate in various addition-relevant behaviors. Specifically, the TDT recording package is a robust system that can record up to 32 channels of electrophysiological (neuronal) data simultaneously. This system allows for electrophysiological recordings of single neurons from rats during awake behavior including self-administration of drugs of abuse. No other recording package includes the optical component which is necessary to identify certain neurons of interest. The electrophysiological recording package with TDT Systems 3 Hardware and Software includes the following: -Z-series 3-DSP Bioamp Processor (RZ5D) -PZ2 Preamplifier -ACO32 Optogenetic Commutator -32 Channel ZIF-Clip Chronic Headstage -PO5e Optical Gigabit High Speed Interface -OpenEx Software -OpenExplorer Software -OpenDeveloper Software -OpenSorter Software -SpikePac Software Tucker-Davis Technologies is the sole manufacturer of this electrophysiological recording package with TDT System 3 Hardware and Software. TDT is the only manufacturer to incorporate both high frequency stimulation and programmable digital signal processors. There are no other vendors authorized to sell the electrophysiological recording package with TDT Systems 3 Hardware and Software. This acquisition is being conducted using policies unique to the acquisition of commercial items prescribed in FAR Part 12, in conjunction with the policies and procedures for solicitation, evaluation, and award prescribed in Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and is exempt from the competition requirements of Part 6. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities in response to this synopsis. The determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
