Purchase Order 75N95024P00483

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $113,026.95 firm-fixed-price purchase order contract to Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Inc. (doing business as 3i) for the upgrade of NIMH's existing 3i light sheet microscope. This non-set-aside contract will provide more uniform resolution, faster imaging, and the ability to image larger samples than the current configuration. The upgrade will modify the existing 3i CTLS microscope to the 3i CTLS AxL configuration, which includes capabilities like a 2 mm light sheet waist, accommodations for sample sizes up to 100 x 30 x 30 mm, and integration with NIMH's current microscope hardware and software. The contract has a 120-day delivery timeline and a one-year warranty, with unlimited remote and on-site service. As the sole manufacturer of the required light sheet microscope, 3i was determined to be the only source reasonably available for this microscope upgrade.
