This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number is NICHD-22-195 and is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation/contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2022-06. The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) Code is 334516 and the business size standard is 1000e. However, this solicitation is not set aside for small business. This acquisition is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR Part 13. Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) has a requirement to procure the following Molecular Devices manufactured new items: 1. PN: IMAGEXPRESS PICO EC - ImageXpress Pico EC System with CellReporterXpress Automated Image Acquisition and Analysis Software. Includes: FLUOTAR 4X/NA 0.13 and 10x/NA 0.32 objectives, transmitted light capability, and FITC filter cube for fluorescence imaging. Equipped with a solid state light source and optical train, a large imaging field of view is possible. Capable of incubation up to 40�C, CO2 control between ambient and 15%, O2 control between 1 and 15% and ambient O2, and humidity control for minimizing evaporation. Includes microtiter plate adapter and 4-slide adapter. CellReporterXpress Software license is included which enables 5 concurrent logins from a desktop or laptop with up to 2 logins from a tablet device per desktop login. License allows up to 10 computer cores to be run for distributed image analysis. Standard image analysis algorithms include cell counting, cell scoring, apoptosis, and other analysis modules for a total of 17 analysis modules. License for Z-stack acquisition is included. System includes 1 year MDCare PhD Technical Support Plan, and 1-year warranty covering parts & labor. � QTY (1) EA 2. PN: 5058414 - ImageXpress Pico CellReporterXpress Small Form-Factor Workstation and Touchscreen Monitor: includes Windows 10 Pro workstation with 10 Core CPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB Solid State Drive, 2 network (NIC) ports, and a 24 inch touchscreen monitor. � QTY (1) EA 3. PN: GU0382703 - FLUOTAR 20x/NA 0.40 Objective � QTY (1) EA 4. PN: GU0382604 - Cy5 Filter Cube - 5. PN: GU0382603 - TRITC Filter Cube � QTY (1) EA 6. PN: GU0382601 - DAPI Filter Cube � QTY (1) EA 7. PN: GU0382605 - TEXAS RED FILTER CUBE � QTY (1) EA 8. PN: PICO-INSTALL-OS - PICO INSTRUMENT INSTALLATION, ONSITE � QTY (1) EA Molecular Devices as developed a smaller imaging system to the instruments currently being used at another institute at the NIH. The Section on Molecular Dysmorphology has a long-standing collaboration with the other institute to conduct high throughput drug screening for the disease Niemann Pick Type C. From the initial small-scale proof of principle study this collaboration has uncovered 33 potential therapies for the disease. This instrument will be critical to the laboratories ability to process the number of samples required. Each candidate compound will need to be tested with 5 different concentrations in triplicate for a requires a robust imaging and quantitative platform with this system will deliver. Additionally, this platform uses all the same quantitative algorithms in use by the other institute thus reducing the need for costly assay development. The offeror must include a completed copy of the provision of FAR Clause 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications � Commercial Items with its offer. The provisions of FAR Clause 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors � Commercial Items; FAR Clause 52.212-2, Evaluation � Commercial Items -Evaluation Procedures: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, based on lowest price/technically acceptable.
