THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED, AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION DOCUMENT WILL NOT BE ISSUED. (ii) The solicitation number is NHLBI-CSB-(HL)-2013-174-RSF. The solicitation is being issued as a Request for Quote (RFQ). (iii) The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-66. (iv) The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with FAR Part 12 and FAR 13. (v) Base Year: Purchase Order Line Item Number 0001: Dual Hot Cell # 1 Purchase Order Line Item Number 0002: Dual Hot Cell # 2 (vi) Description of Requirements for the items to be acquired: Background: The Imaging Probe Development Center at the NHLBI is a state-of-the-art synthetic chemistry core facility dedicated to the production of novel imaging agents for the entire NIH community. The primary goal of IPDC is to expedite basic and translational research across all imaging modalities. IPDC currently is in the progress of opening a new PET lab. At this moment the center has one dual hot cell currently installed. This dual hot cell will primary be used for radiolabelings of various compounds using permanently set up automated modules situated in each hot cell carrying out high levels of radioactivity, and also utility of each module will be based on nature of the isotope. To generate the radiolabeled compounds for imaging studies using the module it is necessary to obtain significant amount of developmental work handling lower levels of the radioactivity. Currently the Center does not have a hot cell to perform those tasks with high levels of personnel shielding and safety. Having additional hot cells devoted only for developmental work will allow radio chemists to perform multiple reactions simultaneously, avoid cross contamination and provide personnel shielding. The transition between the developmental and scale up work will be facilitated by absence of downtime due to the radio decay nature of isotopes. The Imaging probe Development Center is in need of the dual hot cells for developmental work handling radio isotopes.. STATEMENT OF WORK The Offeror shall: 1. Be familiar and have recent experience with designing, producing, and installing hot cells similar to the units installed at the NIH located in Bethesda, MD. Contractors who have previously installed hot cells at this facility are preferred. 2.
