About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, is preparing to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order for a camera upgrade to a Nikon Eclipse Ti2 microscope, with a capability statement deadline of July 24, 2026 at 11:00 p.m. EDT. The procurement is a sole-source award under FAR 6.302-1 to Nikon Instruments Inc., justified on grounds that items must be purchased through Nikon to ensure proper integration, safety standards, and CDRH certification compliance; purchasing from outside sources would void factory warranty and create compliance violations.
The upgrade replaces the existing camera on one microscope at the Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Genetics Microscopy Core Facility with a Teledyne Photometrix Kinetix sCMOS camera. The Kinetix camera features a 30mm sensor (40 percent larger than the current unit), a 500 FPS capture rate (over 10 times faster than current capability), and 96 percent quantum efficiency. The upgrade enables the facility to capture 40 percent more data per field of view and increase imaging throughput.
Small businesses, including 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and women-owned small businesses, may submit written capability statements to david.shen@nih.gov by the deadline. The Government reserves discretion to compete the award based on responses received. Award is anticipated approximately ten days after this notice unless the Government determines another vendor can meet the requirement.
