- INTRODUCTION PURSUANT TO FAR Subpart 5.2-Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions, THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE OF A PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTION. THIS IS A PRE-SOLICITATION NON-COMPETITIVE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A CONTRACT OR PURCHASE ORDER WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME). The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support Contracts and Simplified Acquisitions Branch (SS/SA) on behalf of the National Institute of Drug Abuse intends to negotiate and award a contract for a Light reception for non-image-forming visual functions in mice with John Hopkins University, 144 Mudd Hall, 3400 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, ME 21218 NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 541712 with a Size Standard of 1000 employees. REGULATORY AUTHORITY The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses of the Federal acquisition Requlation (FAR) in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 05-95 and 95 January 19, 2017. STATUTORY AUTHORITY This acquisition is conducted as non-competitive under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c) under provisions of the statutory authority of FAR Subpart 6.302-1. This acquisition is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.106-1 (b) (1), Soliciting from a single source. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT Purpose and Objectives The purpose of this acquisition is to procure four (4) breeding pairs (eight mice in total) customized genetically manipulated mouse lines. These mouse lines are the essential tools on the mechanisms of circadian clock. These 4 lines are: Conditional Cre; Conditional melanopsin knockout; Conditional DTA; Strong DTA under Mel promoter. Project Description 1 male and 1 female mouse (4-8 weeks old) of each type below: 1.The Strong DTA under Mel promoter line is needed to kill ipRGCs (intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells) early in development to study their effects on physiological functions. 2.The Conditional Cre line is needed to label a subpopulation of ipRGCs at low number. This will give us a better resolution to look at each single cell and we can obtain more information. 3.The Conditional melanopsin line is to knockout the pigment in specified subtypes and at adult level. This will help us to learn the gene function with temporal and spacial specificities. 4.The Conditional DTA line is to kill ipRGCs with specific Cre lines and have subtype specificity. This will help us to learn the gene function in a defined cell population. 5.The breeding pairs must be received alive and in good health, as inspected by the vet in charge Period of Performance The delivery date has a lead time of 90 days after receipt of order. This shall be a fixed price contract. CLOSING STATEMENT This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals.
