- Description
- Justification and specifications The National Institutes of Health intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Faxitron. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of Research Services (ORS), Division of Scientific Equipment and Instrumentation Services (DSEIS) currently owns a Faxitron RX-650, which has been in use in the lab for approximately 13 years. This model is reaching an "end of life" phase and will no longer be serviced. This equipment is critical to our research for mitotically inactivating feeder cells. Replacing it is necessary to ensure continuity in research with minimal interruption, so NIH would like to purchase a replacement called CellRad. Faxitron does not currently use re-sellers, so it must to be purchased from them directly. Please see the attached J&A for further details and specifications needed.
