- Description
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park NC, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Andor Technology,425 Sullivan Ave, South Windsor, CT 06074, pursuant to 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1)--Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This request is for Andor iXon EMCCD camera, Andor imaging workstation with iQ-CORE-FST software, and Lumen dyna ics LED system. This procurement is for (1) each of the following components: 1) #DU-897U-CS)-#BV - 512x512, 16um, EMCCD, BV, 17MHz, -100C (Qty 1). 2) #IQ-WSTN-PRO - Dell iQ-Core+Fst 27' LCD, Professional (Qty 1). 3) #TR-XLED1-TSC X-Cite XLED1 Touch Screen Controller (Qty 1). 4) #TR-XLED1-ADP-NKS - X-Cite XLED1 adapter: Nikon Standard (Qty 1). 5) #TR-XLED1-MTY - X-Cite XLED1 unit with 1.5m LLG (Qty 1). 6) #TR-XLED1-LED-460 - X-Cite XLED1 460nm high power LED (Qty 1). 7) #TR-XLED1-LED-505 - Xcite XLED1 505nm high power LED module (Qty1). 8) #TR-XLED1-LED 565 - X-Cite XLED1 565nm high power LED module (Qty1). 9) Shipping & handling (Qty1). The Andor iQ imaging software is exclusively used on all four electophysiological/imaging rigs in my lab. The integration of the Lumen Dynamics Led system with our existing imaging system and this new Andor iXon video camera will require access t proprietary software and parts that only the manufacturer will be able to provide. This workstation has instrumentation drivers pre-installed, and the camera and a software will be ready to go immediately. Thus this software not only is compatible with existing hardware in the lab. It is critical that we maintain the Andor imaging system on all of my rigs since new postdoc who come to the lab can learn how to sue imaging system for those currently in the lab. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability. Respond to this requirement by submitting written capabilities/specifications to the Purchase Agent using the provided email address. This notice of intent is not request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received within 8 days from the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely with the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 8 days of this notice to determine whether a qualified source is more advantageous to the Government, an order will be placed with Andor Technology.
