This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a separate written solicitation document will not be issued. The government intends to award a purchase order as a result of this combined synopsis / solicitation that will include the terms and conditions set forth herein. This solicitation is a request for quotations (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-92. The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The Regional Procurement Office, Research and Development Team based in Pittsburgh is seeking to procure one (1) Perkin Elmer IVIS Spectrum CT Imaging System, or an equal/better item in accordance with the specifications. All interested companies shall provide quotation(s) for the following: Supplies Line Item Description Quantity Unit Price Total Price 0001 IVIS Spectrum CT Imaging system, RAS-4 Rodent Anesthesia System, XPM-2 Bioluminescent Phantom Mouse, XFM-2X Fluorescent Phantom Mouse (X-Ray), XWS-248 48 workbenck for system, 2 day training, and freight and installation. All items are Perkin Elmer (or equal) 1 The requirement is for one (1) in vivo imaging system with specifications that meet or exceed those listed in the specifications section. This instrument shall be delivered and installed at the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System Medical Research Service. Specifications: The vendor shall supply instrumentation that meets or exceeds the following specifications: A fully-integrated, single-unit in vivo imaging system capable of multiple imaging modalities including: photographic, bioluminescent, fluorescent, 3D topographic and micro Computed Tomography (microCT) for longitudinal imaging of live, anesthetized animals (mice and rats). Be capable of imaging 5 mice simultaneously in 2D optical mode (bioluminescent and/or fluorescent) and 2 mice for microCT mode. Support two different modes of fluorescent excitation epi-fluorescence and transillumination fluorescence to allow for optimal excitation of shallow and deep fluorescent sources. Be capable of detecting down to a single bioluminescent cell non-invasively in a live mouse. Utilize a one-inch, back-thinned, back-illuminated Grade CCD chip cooled to an operating temperature of -90 C (absolute) or -115 C (delta). Utilize eighteen (18) narrow bandwidth (20nm or less) hard coated emission filters covering the wavelength range from 490nm 850nm. All filters should be tested to meet or exceed requirements for environmental and physical durability set forth in specifications such as MIL-STD-810F, MIL-C-48497A, MIL-C-675C and ISO 9022-2 and are RoHS compliant. Perform CPS (Compute Pure Spectrum) spectral unmixing by acquiring imaging at multiple wavelengths and calculating concentrations of different fluorescent components in every pixel of an image to allow for the extraction of signal from one or more fluorophores from tissue auto-fluorescence or to extract and distinguish signal from multiple fluorophores with partially overlapping spectral profiles. Utilize an extended near-infrared (NIR) 150 W tungsten EKE excitation light source to allow for increased power at wavelengths greater than 700nm. Utilize high temperature fiber optics to control for heat generation while providing ultra-high NIR light transmission. Instrument must be calibrated against U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards and must use a calibration device for determination and calibration of absolute photon intensity for standardized measurement from experiment to experiment. 3-year Warranty Coverage This is a BRAND NAME OR EQUAL REQUIREMENT for a Perkin Elmer IVIS Imaging System or an equal (or better) system in accordance with the salient characteristics and the solicitation specifications. Any equivalent products shall meet, or exceed, all of the salient characteristics shown above. All responses shall include product information that demonstrates equivalency to the salient characteristics. Delivery: Address: Loma Linda VAMC 11201 Benton St. Loma Linda, CA 91343 The following provisions apply to this acquisition: 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Commercial, (ix) A statement regarding the applicability of Offerors are advised to include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications Commercial Items, with its offer. 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions Commercial Items, 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal 852.211-73, Brand name or equal. 852.246-70, Guarantee The following subparagraphs of FAR 52.212-5 are applicable: (a) All (b) Sections (1)(4)(8)(16)(21)(22)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(42)(46)(49)(55) (d) All The full text of FAR provisions or clauses may be accessed electronically at http://acquisition.gov/comp/far/index.html. In accordance with 52.212-2, Evaluation Commercial Items, the following will be used to evaluate offers: Award shall be made to the offeror whose quotation offers the best value to the government, considering the cascading procedures outlined below, technical capability, and price.

Additional contract requirement(s) or terms and conditions determined by the contracting officer: Set Aside Cascading set-aside procedures with the order of precedence as follows: 1. In accordance with FAR Subpart 19.1405 and VAAR Subpart 819.7005, any award under this solicitation will be made on a competitive basis first to an eligible Service Disabled Veteran Owned small business [SDVOSB] concern provided that the conditions of 38 U.S.C. 8127(d) are met (the VA Rule of Two) whereby the Contracting Officer receives adequate competition of two or more small business concerns owned and controlled by Service Disabled Veterans, and that the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price that offers the best value to the United States. 2. If there is inadequate competition for award to an SDVOSB concern, the SDVOSB set-aside shall be withdrawn and cascaded to the next contracting order of priority in accordance with VAAR 819.7004, which is Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB) and conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in VAAR 819.7006 provided that the conditions of 38 U.S.C. 8127(d) are met (the VA Rule of Two) whereby the Contracting Officer receives adequate competition of two or more small business concerns owned and controlled by Veterans, and that the award can be made at a fair and reasonable price that offers the best value to the United States. 3.
