For equipment/supply requirements, small businesses must also address the size status of the manufacturer under the applicable NAICS code (i.e. address Non-Manufacturer Rule). Your responses 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 not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. 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 to be 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 Functional MRI Facility (FMRIF) is a major resource for neuroimaging research within the IRP of the NIH. The FMRI Facility provides a complete environment of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning including visual and audio stimulus presentation, eye tracking, Electroencephalogram (EEG) recording, patient monitoring and physiology recording while performing functional MRI. Additional services include sequence development, temporary data transfer and storage, scanner training and scanner assistance. A contrast injector is a unique and vital element of the services provided by the FMRIF to the NIMH and NINDS intramural research effort when intravenous contrast is indicated for patient MRI scans. Numerous research protocols in the NMR center require reliable and calibrated contrast injectors to perform at the highest levels to enhance patient data. Purpose and Objectives:� The purpose of this requirement is to purchase a Medrad MRXperion MR Injection System and related products. Salient characteristics include the following:� Syringe based fluid delivery system indicated for delivery of MR contrast media and saline in a research/clinical environment. Improved Efficiencies for workflow and automated fluid delivery, protocol storage/ retrieval, on-board eGFR and weight -based dosing calculator, injection enabled when head is tilted down, interfaces with PACS/RIS and a barcode reader to accurately capture contrast information and automatically populate data fields. The injector must be able to perform all tasks for patients being imagined on a 7 Tesla scanner. The injector requires the least to no amount of work on the RF shield to power and support the in-scanner portion of the unit, which is a more favorable consideration. Delivery or Deliverables. The contractor shall deliver within 30 days after receipt of the order. Site delivery address is National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Building 10, Bethesda, MD 20814.
