Dr. Wang is an incoming tenure-track investigator at NIDDK whose research program develops novel single-molecule technologies to address fundamental questions in biophysics and biochemistry. These new techniques are broadly applicable to a wide range of biomedical problems currently studied at the NIH. A huge amount of efforts went into optimizing each component to achieve the desirable system performance. Purchasing the system as a whole from Princeton University is necessary to provide continuation of Dr. Wang�s research in NIDDK. Because the system was developed at Dr. Wang�s previous lab at Princeton University over the past 5 years, Princeton University is the only place where the system can be purchased. It is also important to purchase the system because it is a highly customized and home-built platform. Replacement or omission of any part would compromise system performance and delay research progress. CLOSING STATEMENT This synopsis is not a request for competitive proposals. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this notice. Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provided feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted.� Responses to this notice shall contain sufficient information to establish the interested parties� bona-fide capabilities for fulfilling the requirement, unit price, list price, shipping and handling costs, the delivery period after contract award, the prompt payment discount terms, the F.O.B.
