About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 is seeking to procure an Olympus BX51WI microscope system with a MP-285 micromanipulator. This equipment will be used to support electrophysiological research at the Department of Veterans Affairs Western New York Healthcare System. The required equipment must meet specific technical requirements to suppress electrical noise and provide precise control for patch-clamp recording. Offers are due by July 8, 2024 at 4PM EDT, and the Government reserves the right to make an award at a quantity less than the full offer. The contract will be awarded without discussions.
This is an unrestricted solicitation, with no set-aside designation. The microscope system will be installed in Building 20, Room 231 of the VA facility. The target installation date is June 1, 2024. The Government has not provided any estimated value or budget range for this procurement.
Notice text
This effort is required to accomplish Specific Aims of a VA Merit Award (BLRD) to the Principal Investigator (Zhen Yan, PhD). This system will be used to perform electrophysiological recordings of synaptic transmission in brain slices in the Yan lab. The BX51WI electrophysiology fixed stage microscope is a microscope particularly suitable for imaging of single cells in thick tissues during electrophysiology experiments from brightfield to IRDIC fluorescence. The BX51WI was specifically designed to suppress electrical noise generated by the frame during critical recording and viewing. The MP-285 micromanipulator offers the precise control of electrode used in patch-clamp recording system. Without this system, it is impossible to perform brain slice recordings for the measurement of neuronal activity.
