- Description
- Whole Slide Scanner Part 1 - Description The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) has a requirement for a digital pathology whole slide scanner which will be used to investigate integrative signaling between growth factors and developmental pathways in situ within formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded and froze tissue sections. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is a Request for Quote (RFQ) using FAR Parts 12 and 13 procedures. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-86. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The associated small business standard is 500 employees. This requirement is for a small business set-aside.

Part 3 - Description/Specifications 3.1 Background CDER/OBP has a requirement for a digital pathology whole slide scanner which will be used to investigate integrative signaling between growth factors and developmental pathways in situ within formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded and froze tissue sections. Using in-situ hybridization technology or immuno-histochemical techniques, OBP will be able to investigate multiple signaling pathways while maintaining tissue architecture and morphology. Understanding this integrative signaling will provide insight on adverse events, product efficacy, and biomarkers of beneficial and detrimental patient responses associated with targeted therapeutics. The current slide scanners available within OBP are not capable of providing the scanning requirements needed to conduct critical research. 3.2 Statement of Work/Technical Specifications The Digital Pathology Whole Slide Scanner system shall include: 1.Scanner: •Shall scan 12 slides at a time •Shall scan formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded and frozen tissue sections •Shall scan brightfield and multi-channel fluorescence in the same machine •Shall have automatic slide loading, previewing, barcode reading, and scanning (acceptable slide formats of 25 X 75 mm; 0.95 - 1.05 thickness) •Shall have manual camera changer up to 2 objectives and motorized objective changer •Shall be no larger than 70 x 50 x 50 cm (W x D x H) 2.Camera and Optics Module: •Shall have at least 4 megapixel monochrome and multispectral illumination camera for fluorescence •Shall have at least 4 megapixel camera for brightfield imaging •Shall have brightfield and fluorescence (up to 9-channels) capability •Shall have brightfield magnification of 25X and 40X (upgradable to 50X and 80X) •Shall have fluorescence magnification of 20X and 40X (upgradeable to 64X) •Shall have brightfield illumination with halogen lamp (5W) •Shall have fluorescence illumination with metal halide (120W) •Shall have quad band filter cube for DAPI/FITC/TRITC/Cy5 •Shall be able to be upgraded with Cy7 filter cube •Shall have extended focus, Z-stack function 3.Image Acquisition Module: •Shall have brightfield scanning speed (15 X 15 mm) of 150s at 25X •Shall have fluorescence compensation •Shall have digital slide format of MRXS, JPG, and JPG 2000 4.Computer Module: •Shall include high performance desktop workstation with high resolution (2560 X 1440 pixel) 27-inch widescreen monitor for slide viewing, mouse, and keyboard •Shall have scanner control software •Shall include HASP local dongle •Shall include viewing, database, and archiving software •Shall include quantitative image analysis software with the following capabilities: •Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) signal and tissue morphology analysis •Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) signal and tissue morphology analysis 5.Delivery, Installation, Training and Warranty: •Installation shall include of the installation of the system and all components, as well as calibration, quantification, and software installation •Shall include a demonstration/training for lab personnel •Shall include a warranty for at least one (1) year from date of installation which covers all labor, parts, and travel expenses required for repairs for equipment and software. Technical support and troubleshooting assistance shall be provided via phone, email, or live-chat interface. 3.3 Optional Service/Maintenance Agreement The FDA shall have a unilateral right to exercise optional periods to continue the maintenance work described below: The offerors pricing for optional service agreement shall include coverage of labor, parts and travel expenses.
