About this file

This combined synopsis/solicitation requests quotations for a laser scanning confocal microscope system with a pulsed white light laser. The National Institute of Mental Health Systems Neuroscience Imaging Resource requires the microscope to provide state-of-the-art confocal imaging capabilities for basic science investigators. Key requirements include rapid high-resolution x/y/z imaging, discrimination of multiple fluorophores from 405-730nm, and discrimination of overlapping emission spectra based on fluorescence lifetime. Responses are due by July 21, 2020 and must include pricing, delivery terms, and other commercial and small business information. The contract will be awarded based on best value considering technical factors and price, with technical factors considered more important than price. The awardee must deliver the system within 60-120 days of award to the specified National Institutes of Health location.
