RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS
The Government has provided answers to interested offeror questions below. Note that many questions may have been combined, paraphrased, and/or summarized for brevity and clarity.
Interested Offeror Question 1: “Can you please provide the Agilent part number for this instrument?”
Government Answer to Interested Offeror Question 1: The NMR instrument does not have a single part number as systems are built to customer specs with the individual modules having serial numbers. This particular instrument is an Agilent (Varian) 400 MHz VNMRS with a Magnex 400/54/ASC magnet, Agilent 7600 sample changer, and XRTCA-0 Air-Jet VT unit. The revised SOW and the SOW with Track Changes is attached. Please refer to MODIFICATION CHANGES, 1., above.
STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
General Information
Title of Project:
Annual Maintenance Agreement for Agilent 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer (NMR400-SN41271)
Statement of Need and Purpose:
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Division of Preclinical
Innovation (DPI), previously purchased the 400 MHz NMR spectrometer (SN41271) and associated non-cryogenic components.
Medicinal chemists in the DPI use the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) instruments on a daily basis to collect compound data, as well as conduct more advanced NMR experiments overnight. Constant access to fully functioning NMR instruments is an imperative to maintain productivity in the successful pursuit of the DPI mission. As such, routine maintenance is of highest priority to ensure the NMR instruments operate properly. Furthermore, periodic upgrades and component replacement are required to prolong the instrument lifetime. In the event of a malfunction, this highly sophisticated and expensive instrument, as well as the associated components will require expert service.
To maintain these instruments in fully functioning, peak condition, scheduled preventive maintenance and service are required.
Background Information and Objective:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation’s leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improve people’s health and save lives.
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is a part of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), which mission it is to catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions.
The Division of Preclinical Innovation (DPI) plans, conducts and uses both internal and contract resources to advance collaborative research projects across the preclinical phases of the translational science spectrum. Specifically, this division:
• Plans, conducts and collaborates on research to develop new methods and technologies to enhance preclinical processes.
• Plans, conducts and collaborates on research to evaluate existing and developing approaches, technologies, and processes in the preclinical spectrum.
• Supports training programs relevant to preclinical phases of translational science.
• Allocates DPI resources to preclinical extramural and intramural investigators.
• Collaborates with other NIH Institutes and Centers and the scientists they support.
• Consults with stakeholders, including patients, industry and regulators.
The DPI requires an annual service agreement to maintain the Agilent 400 MHz NMR spectrometer (Serial Number: NMR400-SN41271) in fully functioning order via preventative maintenance for one 12-month base year and three (3) 12-month successive option years.
Without such a contract in place, repair costs are extremely high and instrument downtime is much longer causing a significant decrease in scientific productivity.
Period of Performance:
The anticipated period of performance is:
Base Period: May 21, 2021 – May 20, 2022
Option Period 1: May 21, 2022 – May 20, 2023
Option Period 2: May 21, 2023 – May 20, 2024
