About this file
This document outlines specifications for an aquarium system and details a federal contract opportunity notice. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to solicit proposals for an additional aquarium system to house zebrafish for research conducted by the Section on Sensory Cell Development and Function. The system must include multi-rack tanks, monitoring instrumentation, temperature control, and automated water quality parameters. Capability statements are due by May 31, 2023 and should not include pricing. The contract will have a one-year base period to provide a complete aquarium system according to the specifications for zebrafish research at NIH.
