About this file
This document contains questions and responses related to a solicitation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the procurement of an Atomic Force Microscopy system coupled with photothermal infrared imaging capabilities for nanoscopic infrared imaging. The solicitation, numbered RFQ-FDA-2021-1238670, has a response deadline of March 1, 2021. Evaluation will be based on a lowest price technically acceptable basis. While features such as enabling future upgrades are potentially valuable, they will not be weighted heavily in evaluation as their benefits are difficult to assess. The system must meet all technical specifications outlined in the solicitation. Pricing will be a significant evaluation factor.
