The purpose of this acquisition is to purchase Neurosimplicity software for Viral Immunology and Intravital Imaging Section in National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The Neurosimplicity software will be used to deformably register, visualize, and quantify imaging data from different sources (microCT, confocal, two-photon, MRI, etc.) in mission critical experiments.� This requirement is for a 6-month Base period with 1 - 6-month option period, which NIH intends to award on a sole-source basis to Neurosimplicity, LLC. NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE and SET ASIDE STATUS The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 541512 with a Size Standard of $30M.

BACKGROUND, PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF REQUIREMENT The National Institutes of Health is the nation�s leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance human health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. The Viral Immunology and Intravital Imaging Section within NINDS is a laboratory that studies immune responses that develop in the brain and spinal cord in response to infections, injuries, tumors, autoimmunity, and neurodegeneration. The Neurosimplicity software will be used by the McGavern lab in mission critical experiments. This software has not been purchased before, the software is needed for automated brain, vascular, and bone analysis to help our lab study the immune system through imaging and data analytics. Neurosimplicity offers these analyses features.� CONTRACTING WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME) DETERMINATION Neurosimplicity is the only software able to deformably register, visualize, and quantify imaging data from different sources (microCT, confocal, two-photon, MRI, etc.) in the same 3D space. In addition, it is secure according to NIH security policies. This software is required for current and future needs of the Viral Immunology and Intravital Imaging Section. No alternative software satisfies its requirements and there are no authorized resellers.
