About this opportunity
This notice seeks a complete multi-photon microscope system including setup and training from the National Institute of Mental Health Unit on Neuromodulation and Synaptic Integration. The microscope must meet the salient characteristics specified in the purchase description, including a hybrid dual scanner design, 30 FPS resonant scanning at 512 x 512 resolution, galvanometer scanning for regions of interest and patterns, tunable 680-1300nm Ti:sapphire laser with 80MHz repetition rate, two high-sensitivity GaAsP PMT detectors and capability for four total, motorized stage and aberration correction. Proposals are due by May 25, 2020 with delivery required by July 1, 2020 or within 30 days of award.
There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The primary NAICS code is 333314 for optical instrument and lens manufacturing while the predominant PSC code will likely relate to scientific equipment. The incumbent contractor is Olympus for the FVMPE-RS multi-photon microscope system. The value of this contract is unavailable but will support purchase of the specified microscope and associated setup and training activities.

Title:
Complete Multi-photon Microscope System Including Set-up and Training
Description(s):
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is the lead Federal Agency for research on mental illnesses. The mission of the NIMH is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure.
The Unit on Neuromodulation and Synaptic Integration (UNSI) seeks to purchase a FVMPE-RS multi-photon microscope system to perform in vivo imaging of neuronal activity with single cell resolution and receptor-based sensors in motivational circuits via the use of GRIN lenses and prisms.
The purpose ofthis acquisition is to purchase a complete Olympus FVMPE-RS (Apollo) Dedicated Resonance Scanning Multiphoton System or “equal” complete multi-photon microscope system including set-up and training. This microscope will allow us to investigate how neuromodulators and in-vivo experiences shape information processing in motivational circuits in-vivo and ex-vivo. This microscope will allow UNSI lab members to examine single cell activity and dendritic dynamics in head-fixed animals, while simultaneously perturbing circuits. Moreover, this microscope will be utilized to perform slice electrophysiology experiments while simultaneously monitoring dendritic dynamics using optical approaches with the two-photon microscope. Lastly, this microscope can also be utilized to acquire high-quality images from fixed tissue, which will supplement the capacities afforded by the NIMH Systems Imaging Resource.
The salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that “equal” products must meet are specified in the purchase description.
