Introduction: This is a 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 large business and small business sources, (2) whether they small businesses 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) large and small business 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. Background: The Laboratory of Molecular Gerontology (LMG), part of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), is conducting research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of aging and premature aging disorders. The LMG's mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about how the body accumulates damage to its DNA over time, how this contributes to aging and to use that knowledge to possible reduce or prevent aging or age-related degenerations. The LMG currently uses a Zeiss AxioVert 200M that was purchased in 1993. This microscope is an essential part of the laboratory. It is used daily by all sections of the LMG for various imaging techniques, COMET analysis, and DNA Fiber experiments and now requires an upgrade. Purpose and Objectives for the Procurement: The purpose of this acquisition is to procure one (1) Zeiss AxioObserver Z1 inverted Research Microscope with ZEN 2 Digital Imaging and ApoTome 2 Optical Sectioning System for use with existing Zeiss equipment in the Laboratory of Molecular Gerontology (LMG). To ensure research data standardization, this is a sole source requirement. Project Requirements: The contractor shall provide the NINDS Laboratory of Neurobiology with one (1) Zeiss AxioObserver Z1 inverted Research Microscope with ZEN 2 Digital Imaging and ApoTome 2 Optical Sectioning System as follows: 1.One (1) Zeiss Axio Observer.Z1 mot Basic Stand [Part No. 4310079902000000] 2.One (1) Zeiss Z-drive Operation Flat Left Imgr/Obsrvr [Part No. 4300520000000000] 3.One (1) Zeiss Nosepiece 6x MOT w/Definite Focus [Part No. 4245339001000000] 4.One (1) Zeiss Beam Combiner Mod UV/VIS f/ Defin.
