- Description
- TITLE: Near IR/UV/Vis/CCD System OPDIV: FDA, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE to determine the availability of potential small businesses (e.g., 8(a), service-disabled veteran owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, veteran-owned small business, and women-owned small business) in accordance with FAR 7.104(d). The potential small business will need to demonstrate the capability to perform all facets of the work described below. The sole intent of this Sources Sought Notice is to obtain capabilities for set-aside and procurement planning purposes. This is not an invitation for bid, request for proposal, or other solicitation, and in no way obligates the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to award a contract. BACKGROUND The Food and Drug Administration’s CDER’s Division of Monoclonal Antibodies is seeking to purchase a quantity of 2 and up to a quantity of 6 fiberless online near infrared, UV/Vis and CCD camera spectroscopic detectors with flow cells and all accessories and software needed to integrate between our Sartorius BDCUII 6 by 5L bioreactor system and Waters Patrol UPLC system. The goal is to monitor and control online cell culture process parameters by correlating the near infrared, ultraviolet, and visible light spectra with media nutrient and bioproducts, as well as cell growth and protein production kinetics, via statistical modeling by principle component analysis, partial least squares, and multivariate data analysis. The data generated must be imported into the Sartorius bioreactor control and modeling softwares. CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS Respondent Contractors shall be able to provide: Two (2) Near IR/UV/Vis and CCD systems, with the following salient characteristics: Item 1: Near IR/UV/Vis and CCD System. Complete system shall include NIR module, flow module, software and licenses, cables, carrying cases for storage and calibration of instrument. NIR module Shall contain the following spectroscopes: i. Near infrared spectrometer: 950-1750 nm wavelength ii. UV/Vis spectrophotometer: 350-920 nm wavelength High resolution CCD camera: resolution of 80micrometer Shall be autoclavable Shall be capable of handling pressure of at least 2-3 bar (30-43psi) and a temperature range from 0-121°C Shall have dimensions (W x D x H) ≤ 12 in x 12 in x 12in (300mm x 300mm x 300mm) to conserve laboratory bench space Measuring time should be ≤10millisecs Flow module Shall include installation box Shall be able to both qualitatively and quantitatively assay pumpable liquids such as cell culture fluid Shall include pump, necessary accessories, control module, and software as needed for installation and usage. Shall be able to measure a distance of 20-40 cm. Accessories Personal computer (Windows 7 preferred) i. System specification s to include: 1. Minimal 8 GB RAM 2. Intel Quad Core processor 3. Minimal 500GB Hard drive 4. Network card 10/100 Ethernet port 5. Expansion slots for incorporation of modules necessary for NIR system ii. Include minimal 19” monitor Battery back up system capable of providing emergency power to system and computer in case of power outages Installation and Warranty System shall include installation i. Installation consists of physical installation as well as calibration, qualification, and software installation ii. Installation must be scheduled within 30 days of delivery or at a time agreed upon in post-award conference (this may depend upon electrical requirements). Warranty shall be for at least 1 year from date of installation Service contract Service contract or warranty should be included for optional years starting in year 2 Service to include at least 1 PM per year with all travel, labor, and parts included. Service should cover re-calibration of instrument Service should also cover all software related to the NIR system with free software upgrades as they are released. Capability statements must demonstrate the minimum requirements outlined above. Please address each in the order listed above, along with product sheet fully describing the proposed equipment. Please provide the follow Business information: DUNS Number Company Name Company Address. Company Point of Contact, phone number and email address Type of company under NAICS, as validated via the System for Award Management (SAM).
