The solicitation documents and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2023-04 dated 6/02/2023.� The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1000 employees. The requirement is being competed as a Brand Name or Equal requirement (considered full and open competition), and without a small business set-aside. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)�s Laboratory of Bacteriology (LB), Pathogen Molecular Genetics Section (PMGS) �(collectively �Program�) studies bacteria that cause important human infections and researches the interaction between the host and the commensal bacteria populating its digestive system, skin, and urinary tracks. This understanding can help Program develop better solutions for the immune evasion mechanisms of pathogens. Program has a particular interest in coagulase-positive and negative staphylococci and the interaction of these bacteria with the host and the microbial environment. Program�s labs require the use of benchtop flow cytometer equipment, specifically the CytoFLEX S V4-B2-Y0-R3 to continue and optimize its research. The CytoFLEX S V4-B2-Y0-R3 benchtop flow cytometer can measure fluorescence in various cell sizes from small bacteria to large host cells, monitor the promoter activity of staphylococcal genes such as regulators using fluorescence markers, can monitor every single bacterium for more than one parameter, monitor gene activation in single-bacterium resolution, and provide information beyond the population level resolution that is produced by light spectroscopy instruments such as plate readers. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has a requirement for the following Brand Name of items: Part #C02948; Description: CytoFLEX S V4-B2-Y0-R3 Flow Cytometer has 3 active lasers (405 nm, 488 nm, 638 nm) and 9 channels for fluorescence detection. This instrument can be upgraded with a maximum of 4 Violet, 2 Blue, 4 Yellow Green, and 3 Red channels. It includes 13 repositionable bandpass filters, 450/45, 525/40 (2), 585/42, 610/20 (2), 660/10 (2), 690/50 (2), 712/25, 780/60 (2).
