- 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 333314 with a size standard of 500 employees. The proposed acquisition is for Optical filters (dichroic mirrors and band-pass) for use in a BD Biosciences 40 Parameter LSRFortessa Flow Cytometer Analysis Systems with the following salient characteristics, 1 ). Modified Magnetron sputter deposition exposed surface-coated dielectric interference filters and beam splitters having highest transmission (typically 93-97% T) and highest signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, for the near-UV (200 nm +) through N-IR (2000 nm). These products offer best durability and hardness. 2). Electron-beam (E-beam) deposition, lower-cost laminated or exposed surface-coated filters that allow for full edge-to-edge coverage of the filter surface. Durability meets MIL-PRF-13830B Moderate. Products include dielectric interference filters, exposed surface-coated dichroic mirrors and beam splitters, and anti-reflective (A/R) coatings. 3). E-beam ion-assisted deposition (IAD), E-beam deposition of reactive oxides for expanded capabilities in the ultraviolet (UV, 200 nm +) through N-IR wavelength ranges. Durability meets MIL-PRF-13830B Severe. Products include UV filters and coatings, exposed surface-coated metallic mirrors and beam splitters, and exposed surface-coated metallic induced-transmission filters, as well as an expanded material selection for dichroic beam splitters. 4). Resistive-source deposition, low-cost laminated and protected coatings for the visible (VIS) to near-infrared (N-IR) wavelength ranges. Products include dielectric interference filters, metallic induced-transmission filters, and metallic neutral-density filters. 5). Six years warranty covering filter efficiency and durability of standard reflection and transmission properties. 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. All submissions and questions must be directed in writing, to Lawrence Bland at blandl@niaid.nih.gov
