DESCRIPTION

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Laboratory of Receptor Biology and Gene Expression (LRBGE) Optical Microscopy Core (OMC) has a requirement for one (1) brand name or equal Abberior MINFLUX 3D Imaging system.

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items, prepared in accordance with format in FAR 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice, and shall be processed in accordance with FAR Part 13.5 – Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

This solicitation, 75N91021Q00004, is issued as a request for quote (RFQ) and includes all applicable provisions and clauses in effect through FAR Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2021-02 (11-23-2020) Simplified Acquisition Procedures for commercial items.

The North American Industry Classification System code is 333314 and the business size standard is 500 employees.

Only one (1) award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This requirement will be awarded as a firm fixed price purchase order.

1.0 BRAND NAME OR EQUAL

This requirement is for the procurement of one (1) brand name or equal Abberior MINFLUX 3D Imaging system. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision FAR 52.211-6, Brand Name or Equal (AUG 1999) is applicable to this requirement.

2.0 SCOPE

The Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer research (CCR), Laboratory of Receptor Biology and Gene Expression (LRBGE) Optical Microscopy Core (OMC) requires one (1) new, commercially available, super-resolution imaging system that enables nanoscopy with MINimal photon FLUXes (MINFLUX) and provides dynamic nanoscopic multicolor imaging in 3D with resolution of 3 nm in XYZ. MINFLUX nanoscopy involves new and unique technologies of adaptive optics and deformable mirror for correction of the specimen distortions, which allow imaging of the thick specimens such as cell tissues. Thus, it allows studies of the intracellular distribution and unperturbed dynamics of individual molecules and molecular complexes in malignant cells and tissues. The super-resolution, MINFLUX capable, 3D imaging system shall be used for the long-term, no-photodamage, no-photobleaching, 3D imaging of unperturbed dynamics of individual molecules and molecular complexes for the malignant cells and tissues.

MINFLUX technology is state-of the art and significantly exceeds other available nanoscopic technologies, such as STED and PALM/STORM, in resolution, speed of imaging and in reduced photodamage. MINFLUX imaging allows localization precision of 3 x 3 x 3 nm, nanoprecision tracking at up to 10 kHz; multiple specimen sampling with 400 microseconds per frame with 3 nm spatial resolution, photon counts of fewer than 10 for smaller than 10 nm XYZ localization. The technology is based on unique principle of extracting the fluorophore position by absence of fluorescence (excitation minima). Only this technology allows low-level excitation, low photon count and ensures fast acquisition and low photo damage. In MINFLUX technique the specimen is sampled by a doughnut-shaped beam; molecule becomes fluorescent only if it is located off-center of the doughnut hole (excitation minimum). Four images are collected with controlled circular doughnut beam shift. To extract the molecule position with nanometer resolution, the fluorescence minimum is estimated based on photon counts from each of the four beam positions.

The purpose of this requirement is to purchase one (1) commercially available Brand Name or Equal Abberior MINFLUX 3D Imaging system for the LRBGE Optical Microscopy Core within the Center for Cancer Research at the NCI. Purchase of this system is indispensable to the mission of NIH. The technology will benefit numerous studies of cancer malignancy at CCR and NCI.
