About this file
This document is a government Purchase Description related to a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a Sony spectral flow cytometry analyzer (ID7000). The National Institute on Aging (NIA) requires this advanced spectral flow cytometry analyzer to upgrade its core flow cytometry facility and maintain state-of-the-art capabilities for its biomedical research program.
The key details are: the ID7000 analyzer has 5 lasers and can simultaneously detect up to 42 fluorescent parameters; the instrument is needed to expand cell analysis capabilities, meet increased user demand, and address scientific obsolescence; the government requires delivery and installation within 12 weeks after receipt of order, on-site training within 2-4 weeks of installation, a 1-year warranty including preventative maintenance, and the ability to handle 44 or more colors. The acquisition is a brand name or equal open competition with no set-asides; the anticipated award is a firm-fixed price purchase order; the response is due by 9/27/2024.

Version 11-30-2016-1 FAR Part 11—Describing Agency Needs
PURCHASE DESCRIPTION
1. Statement of Need and Purpose:
The purpose of this requirement is to procure a Sony spectral flow cytometry analyzer (ID7000). ID7000 is the most advanced spectral flow cytometry analyzer equipped with 5 lasers (355 nm, 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm, and 637 nm) and simultaneous detection of at least forty-two (42) individual fluorescent parameters — empowering scientists to address previously impossible-to answer questions.
2. Background Information and Objective:
The National Institute on Aging NIA, one of the 27 Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) leads the federal government in conducting and supporting research on aging and the health and well-being of older people. The Institute seeks to understand the nature of aging and the aging process, and diseases and conditions associated with growing older, to extend the healthy, active years of life.
The Flow Cytometry Shared Resource Laboratory is a core facility at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Intramural Research Program (IRP). This core facility provides analytical flow cytometry and cell sorting services as well as access to instrumentation which is essential to the biomedical research mission of the NIA IRP.
This purchase is being requested for infrastructure replacement and improvements for instruments. This justification is based on three underlying principles: 1) expands the power of cell analysis, 2) meet user needs for additional capacity, and 3) address scientific obsolescence as the flow cytometry field and the pivotal role that it plays in current and future life science research at the NIA IRP moves forward. This instrument is needed to keep the flow cytometry core state-of-the art and are designed to maintain this advantage for at least a decade.
3. Generic Name of Product:
Spectral flow cytometer analyzer
4. Purchase Description:
The contractor shall deliver and install a Sony spectral flow cytometry analyzer (ID7000) to the flow cytometry core.
The contractor shall deliver and install the required equipment within twelve (12) weeks after receipt of order. Delivery must be FOB Destination and must include inside installation. The equipment shall be delivered and installed between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm, Baltimore, MD local prevailing time, Monday through Friday.
On-site training must take place at the customer site within two (2) to four (4) weeks of equipment installation at the discretion of the customer based on staffing and core scheduling. Training shall take place between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm, Baltimore, MD local prevailing time, Monday through Friday.
The contractor shall provide a company certified service technician to perform setup, installation, and training.
The Contractor shall provide a one (1) year warranty on all equipment, parts and repairs.
The one (1) year warranty shall include preventative maintenance and support services by a company certified service technician. All products shall be warranted to be free from material defects in workmanship or material under normal use and service for the warranty period.
5. Salient Characteristics:
The ID7000™ spectral cell analyzer supports high-parameter flow cytometry by delivering comprehensive information about heterogeneous cell populations, with high sensitivity to detect dim and rare populations.
The ID700 expanding the capabilities of cell analysis, the ID7000 can be configured with up to 7 lasers and 186 detectors, the most of any flow cytometer available today. The system enables researchers to perform experiments using 44 colors or more, limited only by the fluorochromes available. Laser choices range from deep ultraviolet (320 nm) to infrared (808 nm). The system’s detection capability enables expansion of multicolor panels and can keep pace with future fluorochrome development.
The ID7000 spectral cell analyzer streamlines high-parameter experiments and multicolor workflows. Novel features, including the Spectral Reference Library, save time. The Autofluorescence Finder allows researchers to identify and subtract contributions to the signal from autofluorescent populations, thus ensuring higher fidelity of data and more accurate visualization.
Intuitive, guided workflows on the ID7000 spectral cell analyzer make multicolor flow cytometry accessible. Software wizards and tools simplify instrument controls from startup to shutdown, automate quality control, and optimize experiment creation. The standard AutoSampler provides walkaway operation and is equipped with a unique, active agitation capability to keep cells in suspension during sample acquisition.
Spectral technology, easy-to-use software, and automation across the workflow make the ID7000 an excellent fit for facilities looking for a user-friendly, high-performance analyzer that will bring their research to the next level.
