- Light proof rack/cage systems with accessories HHS-NIH-NIDA-SSSA-PSOL-2017-414 This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is HHS-NIH-NIDA-(SSSA)-PSOL-2017-414 and the solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). This acquisition is for a commercial item or service and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures; FAR Subpart 13.5- Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items; and FAR Part 12-Acquisition of Commercial Items, and is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-94/95, dated January 19, 2017. The associated NAICS code for this requirement is 332999, All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, size standard 750 employees. BACKGROUND The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation's leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improve people's health and save lives. The 24-hour rotation of the earth around its axis has allows most organisms, from cyanobacteria to humans, to evolve an internal biological clock, approximately 24 hours in length. The circadian clock regulates normal physiological functions and allows organisms to anticipate daily changes in their environment. Light necessary to entrain the circadian clock is received through the retina and then transmitted to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain, where the circadian pacemaker resides. The atypical photoreceptors, melanopsin-containing ganglion cells, have been shown to be the only conduit by which light reaches the circadian pacemaker in the SCN. By understanding the basic developmental and physiological mechanisms of light detection in melanopsin cells, we will be able to explain, and potentially alleviate sleep and mood disorders. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The light proof rack/cage system, together with telemetry and infrared accessories, shall allow the lab to design more diverse light control programs for each animal cage and gain more in-depth data. The 6 rack/cage systems shall allow the lab to simultaneously perform a larger range of tests with more variables. The new system shall reduce the interference between cages and yield high quality data.
