(viii) The provision at FAR Clause 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (MAR 2023) is applicable and incorporated by reference into this solicitation.

(ix) The provision at FAR Clause 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (NOV 2021) is applicable and incorporated by reference into this solicitation. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

Each quote will be evaluated in strict conformity with the evaluation factors. The evaluation will be based upon the demonstrated capabilities of the prospective Contractor in relation to the needs of the project as set forth in the solicitation.

The quote will also be evaluated taking into consideration any price reductions for the requirement being ordered. A price reasonableness determination will be made and a best value analysis will be performed. The best value analysis will take into consideration the results of the technical evaluation, price evaluation, and the ability to complete the work within the Government's required schedule. The analysis will document that the award represents the best value to the Government (considering technical evaluation factors, past performance, and price) to meet the Government’s needs. The Government reserves the right to issue an order to the best advantage of the Government, technical merit, price, and other factors considered.

All aspects of a quote are subject to discussion, including price, technical approach and terms and conditions. At the completion of discussions, the Contractor will ensure the technical and price quote reflects the mutual understandings of the requirement and if requested, submit a revised technical and price quote to the Contracting Officer.

The Government may request clarifying information from the Contractor, as it relates to its quote.

If an award will be made without conducting discussions, Contractors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their quote (e.g., the relevance of the contract, the Contractor's past performance information, and adverse past performance information to which the Contractor has not previously had an opportunity to respond) or to resolve minor or clerical errors. Discussions will not be held with any Offeror determined to be technically unacceptable.

The Government reserves the right to make a single award, multiple awards, or no award at all as a result of the solicitation. In addition, the solicitation may be amended or canceled as necessary to meet the Government’s requirements.

A tradeoff process shall be used for this acquisition because it has been determined to be in the best interest of the Government to consider award to other than the lowest priced Offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror. All evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are more important than cost or price. For this acquisition, the following considerations will be part of the trade-off process: Technical Evaluation Factors including Past Performance, and Price.

The evaluation factors are used by the technical evaluation committee when reviewing the technical quotes. The factors below are listed in order of its relative importance for evaluation purposes.

1. Technical Capability and Functionality

NIDA shall evaluate the offeror’s technical approach for overall capability and functionality in relation to the General Requirement, Salient Characteristics, Quantity and Deliverables as described in the Purchase Description.

2. Contract Management and Customer Support

NIDA shall evaluate the offeror’s ability to provide a high level of customer service, particularly in the area of initial responsiveness and resolution of device and service problems. Specifically, the Government will evaluate the Offeror’s capability based on its description of any applicable warranty and customer support process.

3. Speed of Delivery, Installation and Set-up

NIDA shall evaluate the offeror’s technical approach for completeness, feasibility, soundness and practicality of the proposed approach and work plan for accomplishing the requirements of the Purchase Description.

PAST PERFORMANCE

The Offeror should provide past performance information. Past performance information should cover a minimum of one (1) year in relevant services and deliveries of comparable systems. The Offeror should provide at least one reference for any project identified under the experience factor that has a performance period within the past three (3) years. For each reference, the offeror should provide the following: (1) Organization or contracting partner's name; (2) Point of contact's (POCs) name and contact information (i.e., current phone numbers and valid email addresses);

and (3) a description that precisely explains the general scope and specific requirements of the contract.

Offerors will be evaluated based on information obtained from references provided by the offeror, other relevant past performance information obtained from other sources known to the Government, and any information supplied by the offeror concerning problems encountered on the identified contracts and corrective action taken. Furthermore, the Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror's performance on a list of contracts but rather the product of subjective judgment by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information.

PRICE EVALUATION

Offerors price quote will be evaluated for reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques. Price evaluation will not be conducted on any Offeror determined to be technically unacceptable.

(x) The provision at FAR Clause 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Products and Commercial Services (DEC 2022), is applicable and incorporated by reference into this solicitation.

(xi) The provision at FAR Clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (DEC 2022), applies to this acquisition. See Attachment 2.

(xii) The provision of FAR Clause 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement

Statutes or Executive Orders - Commercial Products and Commercial Services (JUN 2023), applies to this acquisition. See Attachment 3.

PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose: The (brand name or equal) Mobile Home Cage to conduct behavioral experiments while calcium signals, indicating neuronal activities, from the mouse brain are being recorded. To understand behavioral functions of neural activity, we need a behavioral device that fulfills two major needs. First, it is necessary to from the same subject at the same time. Second, the mouse must be able to produce behavioral responses while being head-fixed for the two-photon calcium-imaging recording.

2. Background Information and Objective: The proposed acquisition of brand name or equal Mobile Home Cage must be incorporated into an existing two-photon microscope system. The four major components of the two-photon microscope are: Zeiss AxioExaminer D1 microscope, Cambridge Technology Galvo optical scanner, Spectra- Physics Mai Tai HP laser, and a large air table. This is a large instrument system, taking up a 12 square yard space, and valued hundreds of thousands of dollars. This instrument allows little room to modify its physical configuration, to accommodate other instruments.

Therefore, the dimension of behavioral instrument that is incorporated into the microscopic system is restricted.

3. Generic Name of Product: Mouse head-fixation with locomotor navigation system

4. Purchase Description: Brand name or equal: (1) The Mobile HomeCage Large with locomotion tracking capability version 3, Qty. 1; (2) The MultiCage Training Upgrade Kit for converting Mobile HomeCage Large into a training arena for simultaneous training of three mice, Qty.1 ; (3) Lick port and air puff compatible with the Mobile HomeCage V5 and the Mobile HomeCage Large V3-V4, qty. 1; (4) Warranty; (5) Support services.

5. Salient characteristics The behavioral instrument must be small enough to be incorporated into the two-photon microscope system. Specifically, the dimension of the behavioral instrument must be smaller than the following: 280 mm, the distance from the objectives focal point to the microscope frame; 168 mm, the distance from the objective’s focal point to the stage surface; and 42 mm, perfocal length of objective. In addition to

(1) being compact, the behavioral instrument must be able to (2) head-restrain mice for neural recording, (3) allow the mouse to perform behavioral tasks (e.g., locomotion-based operant responses), and (4) deliver liquid solution to the mouth and airpuff to the eye, to reinforce behavioral responses.

6. Quantity: 1 system.

7. Delivery Date: Within 30 days upon receipt of order. Delivery shall be made to 251 Bayview Blvd, Suite 200, BRC 08A711, Baltimore, Maryland, 21224. The POC for this delivery is Satoshi Ikemoto sikemoto@mail.nih.gov.
