(iv) The associated NAICS code is 334516 and the small business size standard is 1,000 epmloyees. This requirement is a full and open competition. (v) Phosphorus (31P) MR spectroscopy (MRS) is a non-invasive technique for the study of tissue and energy metabolism under various physiological and pathophysiological conditions. It also provides a way to measure tissue pH. MR Spectroscopy Section and Core have been conducting 31P MRS studies using 1H/31P surface coils on the peripheral brain tissue (frontal or occipital lobes). However, the shallow penetration of the radiofrequency wave from surface coils cannot reach brain tissue in deep brain region. To study brain metabolite inside human head, a volume head 1H/31P head coil must be used which can produce radio frequency wave penetrating into the deep brain. (vi) Purchase Description : 3-Tesla proton (1H) and phosphorus (31P) dual tuned MRI head coil. This is a MRI head coil that is designed to detect both proton (1H) and phosphorus (31P) signal. The 1H channel is used to obtain regular MRI images and 1H MRS, and 31P channel is used to obtain 31P MRS. Salient characteristics: Refer to Attachment 1: Product Description for a complete description of salient characteristics. Quantity: One (1) (vii) Delivery Date: No later than 90 days after receipt of order.
