- Description
- This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are small businesses; HUBZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran-owned small businesses; woman-owned small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. This notice is issued to help determine the availability of qualified companies technically capable of meeting the Government requirement and to determine the method of acquisition. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals or quotes. No award will be made as a result of this notice. The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice. This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Background: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation's leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency conducting and supporting medical discoveries that improve people's health and save lives. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system and to use that knowledge to reduce the burden of neurological disease. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this requirement is to upgrade the NINDS EEG/MEE 1100 system. The EEG/Sleep Section has a neurodiagnostic network composed of Nihon Kohden electroencephalogram, long term monitoring, evoked potential, and intraoperative monitoring units. These units have many peripheral components, in this case including 32 and 64 channel input boxes, 5 stimulation outputs, a 32 channel PSG/EEG amplifier with DC channel inputs, specialized high intensity output adaptor cables designed to be compatible with the Nihon Kohden stimulator. NINDS will use the existing video cameras, microphones, photic stimulation devices, other input boxes and reading and acquisition software. The machine to be upgraded plays a critical role within NINDS clinical neurodiagnostic network, in providing redundancy for a number of functions. It will be used primarily for recording routine EEGs, but will also be used for recording evoked potentials and for intraoperative monitoring. The peripheral equipment used for this machine must be compatible with the other machines that perform the same function in order to provide redundancy. This machine must be interchangeable with the other units currently possessed by the lab, all of which are compatible with Nihon Kohden. Project requirements: Contractor shall provide Nihon Kohden equipment and accessories as shown below: 1. EEG System consisting of: (All quantities are 1 each unless otherwise stated) a. Model NK-EXP19420PT Two port NIC card, for use in SFF and Tower PCs b. Model NK-Panel-AV Panel for Portable System Connect/Disconnect c. Model NK-ABCE420 Hospital Grade UPS 420VA 2.
