- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal of abstracts or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified business sources; (2) determine whether they are small businesses (e.g., 8(a), Veteran-owned small businesses, service-disabled Veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, and women-owned small businesses); and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your response to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should indicate its small business status in its response. This notice is issued to help determine the availability of qualified companies technically capable of meeting the Government requirement and to determine the method of acquisition. It is not construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals or quotes. No award will be made as a result of this notice. The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice. This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Background: The mission of the Intramural Research Program (IRP) of the National Institute on Drug Abuse is to conduct state-of-the-art research on basic mechanisms that underlie drug abuse and addiction, and to develop new methods for the treatment of drug abuse and addiction. The newly established Translational Analytical Core at NIDA-IRP will provide both preclinical and clinical PIs at NIDA-IRP access to shared instrumental resources to accomplish this goal. The addition of a liquid chromatograph-high resolution mass spectrometer (LC-HRMS) will enable researchers at NIDA-IRP to analyze and measure the metabolome and lipidome for their samples. This information will permit clinical PIs to provide better therapy for patients and will enable preclinical PIs to understand the underlying biochemistry mechanism for drug abuse and other disease models which will lead to better medical treatment. The Translational Analytical Core (TAC) at NIDA-IRP has a need to perform exact mass measurements and structural characterization of small molecules and to measure metabolomic and lipidomic profiles in samples from addiction studies and disease models. The requested liquid chromatograph-high resolution mass spectrometer (LC-HRMS) needs to be a benchtop system and will be used for structural identification of synthetic molecules by exact mass and MS/MS studies. It will also be used to perform metabolomic and lipidomic analysis in biological matrices in both human and animal studies. Requirement: NIDA IRP requires a liquid chromatograph-high resolution mass spectrometer (LC-HRMS) with a quadrupole Orbitrap mass analyzer with a HESI ion source.
