- Contracting Office Address Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Office of Acquisitions, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Room 1E224, Bethesda, MD 20852, UNITED STATES. Description The Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics (LCBG) Center for Cancer Research (CCR) plans to procure on a sole source basis a brand name or equal Bio-Rad ChemiDocTM Touch Imaging System from Bio-Rad Life Science Group, 2000 Alfred Nobel Drive, Hercules, CA 94547. This acquisition will be processed in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures as stated in FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1). Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. The North American Industry Classification System code is 334516 and the business size standard is 500 employees. Period of performance is July 1, 2016 - July 31, 2016. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. The Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics (LCBG) Center for Cancer Research (CCR) self-assembled in 2006 through the merger of the Laboratory of Cellular Carcinogenesis and Tumor Promotion (LCCTP), the Laboratory of Cell Regulation and Carcinogenesis (LCRC) and the Laboratory of Genetics (LG). The LCBG currently encompasses the work of 12 principal investigators supervising independent research programs with highly overlapping experimental goals and approaches. These investigators conduct a well-integrated research program consisting of basic and translational components that are designed to: elucidate the cellular and tissue changes associated with specific stages of carcinogenesis, detect and characterize genetic modifiers fundamental to cancer susceptibility and progression, define the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of major human cancers, and develop rational approaches for cancer prevention and treatment. Studies are performed in vivo in animal models, in vitro in cell and organ culture, and on tissues and cells obtained from human volunteers and cancer patients. The LCBG also develops and correlates novel protocols in molecular diagnostics for human and animal tissues, and in noninvasive medical imaging for animal models. Emanating from our studies are new therapeutic combinations for targeted cancers now in clinical trials. Salient Characteristics for the brand name or equal Bio-Rad ChemiDocTM Touch Imaging System: The salient characteristics that apply to this acquisition are as follows: •Camera specifications required: o2,758 H X 2,208 V pixels, 6.1 megapixels o50% QE at 425 nm, max QE 75% at 600 nm of/0.95 fast lens o16-bit data acquisition o4.54 x 4.54 μm pixel size oLow read noise, <6e- oLow dark current, 0.002 e/p/s at -25°C oPeltier cooling to -25°C, absolute •Powered by Image Lab TM Touch Software •12.1" Touch-screen functionality •16x21cm Imaging area minimum •System must offer the following sample trays: oChemi/UV/stain-free for trans-UV illumination oWhite for trans-white illumination oBlue for trans-blue illumination •Must be flat field calibrated at the factory and files stored in the integrated PC •Must exhibit sensitivity equal to film •Safety features for band excision •Must offer Chemiluminescent, and 5 channel fluorescent imaging covering Near and Far IR and Visible Red, Green and Blue Spectra •Must offer StainFree Gel/ Blot Imaging and Automated Total Protein Normalization Analysis Capabilities within analysis software •Automated image capture optimized for each selected gel or blot application •Must allow imaging previews for each imaging channel and ability to retake images for individual channels as needed •Onboard image merging •Several binning options: 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 •Must offer unlicensed Image Lab Software compatible with PC and Mac OS •On-site Field Service is required •On-site Field Application Scientist support is required for training and future technical assistance This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested parties, especially small businesses, believe they can meet the above requirement, they may submit a statement of capabilities. All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow the NCI to determine if it can meet the above unique specifications described herein. A copy of the capability statement must be received in the NCI Office of Acquisition on or before 11:00 AM EST on June 29, 2016. All questions must be in writing and emailed to Kathy Elliott, Contract Specialist at Elliottk@mail.nih.gov no later than June 27, 2016. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
