The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334516 and the business size standard is 1,000. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intends to award a purchase order to Eppendorf North America, Inc., 102 Motor Parkway, Hauppauge, NY 11788. This is pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1)-Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Digestive, Diabetes & Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has a requirement for a micromanipulator to be used with microscope to be used with micro-injector for transgenic core unit work to produce new mouse lines. The system should be delivered to the end user and set up for use. The system should be a fully electronic system. The system should have a tool travel speed of at least 10,000 μm/s for rapid work and penetration of tough material. The control panel should have a LCD display that shows coordinates of the motors and the functions being used. The system should have an automated function for the capillary to move out of working radius and return to the precise same spot. This saves time when changing capillary. This function should be preadjusted for standard working conditions but open for personal adjustments in speed and range for special set up conditions (e.g. narrow condenser). The system should be able to store up to 5 independent working positions in all three coordinates (X, Y, Z) precisely. These positions can be recalled anytime either via the soft keys on the control panel or the joystick button. Furthermore, the position storages can be remained after switching off/on of the device. The system should have at least 4 pre-defined programs for common applications and free definable soft keys to allow users to customize a program on their own. The system should be ergonomically designed where the user shall be able to rest his/her hand on the control board of the system for long period of handling to reduce strain of hands, arms and shoulders. The system should be able to be updated from time to time with newer software versions using the USB port, without the need to purchase new devices. The system should be able to be connected to an electronic microinjector to allow movement of the capillary and injection to be carried out automatically. The system should be able to connect to a piezo device and the piezo impulses can be supported by adjustable automated forward movements. The system should be able to adapt to all common inverted- and stereomicroscopes.
