This tool is in high demand and widely used across multiple institute centers at NIH. Please see the attached justification and approval (J&A) form for further information, as well as the specification sheet for item details.

This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information provided in response. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. Any organization responding to this notice should ensure that its response is complete and sufficiently detailed.
