PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Installation of and Training on the Florescent Laser Analyzer (FLA) System

1. OBJECTIVE: To provide installation of and training on FLA System for Brain Trauma Neuroprotection and Neurorestoration (BTNN).

2. INTRODUCTION: The Department of BTNN, Center for Military Psychiatry and Neuroscience, will be conducting studies investigating receptor binding and in situ hybridization brain tissues following mild (concussive) traumatic brain injury (TBI) and penetrating ballistic-like brain injury models of neuronal injury. These protocols involve the labelling of cell surface proteins or messenger RNA with radioisotope labelled binding molecules. The FLA System methodology allows for the digital detection of these radiolabeled binding molecules without the use of films or hazardous film development chemicals. In addition, FLA system technology can be used for the florescent detection of multiple target protein within a single western blot. Thus, the FLA system will provide a variety of capabilities within a single system.

3. BACKGROUND: The BTNN group, Center for Military Psychiatry and Neuroscience, will be conducting studies evaluating the abundance of several biomarkers after TBI with and without potential neuroprotectants following brain injury. As part of our mission directed research we evaluate the changes in target receptors or changes in messenger RNA in brain tissue. However, as is true of many research institutes, WRAIR no longer supports film development due to the cost and hazards of waste disposal. We have done extensive research into the availability of florescent tagged alternative and only a few ligands binding assays are currently available and these have not been fully validated and do not meet the research needs as they do not target the receptors of interest critical to our mission-directed TBI research. The addition of the FLA system will allow for the continuation of this research by eliminating the need for film and film development. In addition, the FLA system allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple proteins within a single assay (Western blot) and has more precision in protein detection than traditional chemiluminescence. This system feature will increase both the speed and accuracy of our ongoing proteomics research. In addition, the FLA System outlined in the MECs is a table-top instrument that can be used on a standard laboratory bench top.

4. SCOPE OF WORK: Description of services: Engineer from the vendor shall install FLA system equipment outlined in the MEC in BTNN, train staff for use, and provide troubleshooting and maintenance.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) 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. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 Technical Factor 2 Price

(b) Basis for Award & Evaluation

This will be a LPTA procurement. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable quotation with the lowest evaluated price. An overall technical rating must be at least "ACCEPTABLE" in order to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating, results in the technical quotation being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" unless corrected through discussions. An overall technical rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a quotation ineligible for award.

An offeror is expected to submit sufficient information in response to the RFQ to allow for the evaluation of his/her quotation.

Each of the evaluation factors will be rated as follows:

Factor 1 - Technical The Government will evaluate the offeror's capabilities to provide equipment provided in the RFQ. The supplies recommended by the contractor will be evaluated in how they satisfy all of the Minimal Essential Characteristics (MEC’s) provided in the RFQ Instructions. All quotations submitted with equivalent supplies shall provide a matrix that directly point back to all MEC’s.

Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the MECs and RFQ.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the MECs and RFQ.

Factor 2 - Price Offerors' price proposals will be evaluated to determine the price is fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 12.209. Quotations should include a proposed price for each Contract Line Item Number

(CLIN).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
