- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number is NICHD-16-062 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-87. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334516 and the business size standard is 500 employees. However, this solicitation is not set aside for small business. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intend to contract on a sole source basis with known US distributor Molecular Devices - 1311 Orleans Drive - Sunnyvale, CA to procure the following products: 1.PN: MULTICLAMP 700B - MULTICLAMP 700B SYSTEMS includes: Microelectrode Amplifier, resistor-feedback, computer controlled, two channels (2) Headstages (CV 7B) Region-specific power cord, Accessory kit containing: USB Cable, Two Baseplates for attaching headstages to manipulator, Two HL-U Electrode Holders, Two Patch-1U Model Cells, two 1mm pins MultiClamp Commander software CD 1 year warranty covering parts/labor - Quantity (1) EA 2.PN: PCLAMP 10 Standard - PCLAMP 10 SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS includes: Pclamp 10 CD, Pclamp 10 USB Security key 1 year warranty covering parts/labor - Quantity (1) EA 3. PN: DIGIDATA 1550B4 - DIGIDATA 1550B Low-Data Acquisition System Plus 4 Channels Humsilencer Adaptive Noise Cancellation, 16-Bit, 500 KSPS, USB 2.0 The Digidata 1550B4 rack mountable main unit comes standard with: USB 2.0 cable, Region specific power cable, AxoScope 10 software CD, Quick start guide, requires pCLAMP v10 1 year warranty covering parts/labor - Quantity (1) EA The lab has investigated other types of patch clamp rig systems and determined that the Multiclamp system from Molecular Devices is the best fit for the lab. The lab uses Drosophila as a model system for studying neural coding. The required equipment is for setting up a patch clamp rig for Drosophila electrophysiology studies. The Multiclamp systems will enable stable intracellular recording form fly sensory neurons. For many years the lab has been using a similar Molecular Device system. The lab has spent a substantial amount of time developing programs and scripts specific for this equipment for conducting experiments as well as analyzing the data. These existing programs and scripts are compatible with the Molecular Devices products we request here but not with other hardware. The Multiclamp system allows us to simultaneously record from two cells and has a noise filtering system built into it. The Multiclamp IS also compatible with our existing rig setup and the physical size can fit into the space available in our equipment rack which allows for years' worth of programs and scripts for conducting experiment to be stable. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of the 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1), FAR 6.302. The offeror must include a completed copy of the provision of FAR Clause 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items with its offer.
