- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Office of Acquisitions Services is issuing this Sources Sought Notice on behalf of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Health Effects Laboratory Division (HELD) ACQUISITION REQUIREMENT: NIOSH HELD has a requirement to obtain a device that can measure Transepidermal Water Loss(TEWL) that meets the following salient characteristics: Adaptable instrument that can measure TEWL Instrument that can measure in both in-vitro (lab) and in-vivo (body) settings Instrument with special adaptors that allow for testing in 6 well plates, 96 well plates, Franz cells (9mm), etc. The instrument is required to be closed chambered to eliminate interferences from surrounding air, especially if the instrument is taken into the dynamic environment of an oil and gas site in multiple states (outdoors). The instrument must be portable and battery operated (no cord) in order to take to multiple sites. ACQUISITION BACKGROUND: A TEWL measuring device is needed to support an ongoing NIOSH National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) project: Investigating Cytokine & Other Biomarkers in Skin Post Exposure to Drilling Fluids.The instrument will support a project wherein changes to skin models will be observed after application of oil and gas drilling fluids in order to make proper recommendations regarding the control of exposures to workers. A device with the above identified salient characteristics is needed to save researchers� time because it will permit readings (measurements) in under 10 seconds. This will result in researchers being able to quickly measure TEWL and evaporation parameters for data collection in in-vivtro studies using skin models and in-vivo studies on workers. SUBMISSION DETAILS: The Government requests that interested parties who can provide a device that meets the salient characeristics described above submit the following information: 1. Name and address of company, with Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code and Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number.
