About this file

This special notice from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration concerns the potential sole source award of a contract for an ImageXpress Micro Confocal High Content Screening System. The St. Louis VA Medical Center Research Development function intends to negotiate directly with Molecular Devices for the procurement of a high-content confocal microscope to be shared by multiple investigators for imaging cells, particularly human stem cell-derived organoids. The required system must include high-resolution rapid imaging using spinning disc technology, multiple imaging modes such as phase contrast, fluorescence, widefield, and confocal, and water immersion objectives to minimize sample exposure. Unique image analysis software is also required. Interested parties may submit a capability statement by 11:00 AM EST on July 26, 2021 to Elaine DiBucci at elaine.dibucci@va.gov to be considered, though the determination to compete the requirement is at the Government's discretion.

DESCRIPTION

The St. Louis VA Medical Center Research Development function intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Molecular Devices for the procurement of an ImageXpress Confocal High-throughput imaging system. This high-content confocal microscope which has the capability for live-cell imaging on multiple samples, is intended to be shared by multiple investigators with the need for imaging cells, particularly human stem cell-derived cells (organoids). Researchers require that the equipment includes the capacity for high-resolution rapid imaging using spinning disc technology, multiple imaging modes including phase contrast, fluorescence, widefield, and confocal imaging. Water immersion objectives are also required that minimize sample exposure as well as unique image analysis software. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than 11:00 AM EST on Monday, July 26, 2021. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Elaine DiBucci at elaine.dibucci@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
