The acquisition is being conducted in accordance with the procedures of FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13. PURPOSE: The purpose of this requirement is to procure a maintenance agreement for various laboratory equipment/instruments located in the core facilities in the Division of Intramural Research (DIR) at the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI).   (v) Background: The mission of the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research (DIR) is to perform robust scientific and clinical research leading to a better understanding of biology and clinical pathology. To attain this goal, we have built a strong basic science foundation and coupled it closely with innovative technology development and outstanding clinical research both at the NIH Clinical Center and in partnership with local hospitals. The purview of our research is broad, encompassing investigations into the basic principles of molecular, cellular, and organ-level biology and their relationship to disease. Some current areas of fundamental interest include single molecule structure; protein assembly; molecular and cell biology; cell signaling and motility; membrane trafficking; physiology; systems biology; engineering and technology development. Insights into disease mechanisms derived from basic studies form the basis for translational research into new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. DIR investigators also conduct concept-based clinical studies in the areas of interventional and surgical cardiology; pulmonary medicine; sickle cell anemia; bone marrow transplant; and hematologic disorders. Providing state-of-the-art training in basic, translational, and clinical research for the next generation of scientific and clinical leaders is a high priority. This program provides opportunities for scientists and trainees to work together towards a better understanding of molecular machines, the cell, the body, and ultimately the treatment of human diseases. Core Facilities in the Division of Intramural Research at the Heart Lung and Blood Institute conduct basic and applied research that provides services to both clinical and laboratory research programs. As part of the research, the lab uses/requires a contractor for an Equipment Maintenance Program that will consolidate various equipment/ instruments across multiple areas into one agreement.
