About this file
This document outlines the technical specifications for a microCT scanner solicitation. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is seeking to procure a high resolution desktop micro-CT system with a 16MP sCMOS detector capable of visualizing objects up to 125 megapixels. Key capabilities include detection of small details as low as 0.4-0.5mm, accommodation of sample sizes up to 2x1x5cm, automatic sample changing for specimens up to 25mm diameter and 40mm length, and volumetric reconstruction software. The equipment must be delivered by May 1, 2023 to the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory with no special requirements. The related federal contract opportunity solicitation number is 1305M323QNRMA0038 for a micro-computed tomography scanner to support research on ocean acidification impacts.

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
● Capable of visualization up to 125 Megapixels (11200 x 11200 pixels)
● Object detection for details as small as 0.4-0.5 μm and as large as 2 x 1 x 5 cm
● 16MP sCMOS detector/camera
● Precision micro-positioning stage
● Automatic sample changer capable of accommodating samples of 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
