About this file
This document includes an attachment outlining technical specifications for a federal contract solicitation. The solicitation seeks a high resolution desktop micro-CT system with a voxel resolution of at least 2.5 um, capable of visualizing features up to 2x1x5 cm in size. The system should include a precision micro-positioning stage, automatic sample changer for samples up to 25 mm diameter by 40 mm length, and software for volumetric reconstruction, 2D/3D quantitative analysis, surface rendering visualization, and volume rendering movies. The selected vendor must supply the microCT instrument along with associated software, and send a service engineer to install and calibrate the equipment at the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory by May 1, 2023. The technical specifications attachment provides details to support Solicitation 1305M323QNRMA0038 issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce seeking a micro-computed tomography scanner.

ATTACHMENT 1 – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
NR-MAD000-23-00156
SCOPE OR MISSION: The vendor will supply a microCT instrument and associated software and will send a service engineer to install and calibrate the instrument at AOML.
BACKGROUND: NOAA’s Ocean Acidification Program and Coral Reef Conservation Program provided grant funding to PIs Osborne and Enochs to acquire a microCT to examine OA impacts on marine calcifiers. The following, -related research will be possible with the purchase of a microCT: a) resolving fine-scale erosion and dissolution in US coral communities that cannot be resolved by standard CT scanning, b) examining calcification response/impact of OA on planktonic calcifiers, c) examining the paleo-progression of OA in the Gulf of Mexico using foraminifera in sediment cores, d) analyzing the archive of pteropods. This purchase will maintain a critical technical capability at AOML and contribute to the understanding of OA and its impacts.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
● High resolution desktop micro-CT system
● Micro-CT system warranty against defects in material or workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of installation
● PC workstation with system 3-year warranty
● Voxel resolution of at least 2.5 um for visualization of small features
● Capable of visualization features as large as 2x1x5 cm
● Precision micro-positioning stage
● Automatic sample changer capable of accommodating samples as large as 25 mm diameter x 40 mm length
● Software enabling volumetric reconstruction, 2D/ 3D quantitative analysis, surface rendering visualization, visualization and creation of movies by volume rendering
DELIVERY SCHEDULE: The equipment should be delivered no later than May 1, 2023.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: None
