About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, operating through the South Texas Veterans Health Care System (STVHCS), has issued a Special Notice indicating their intent to sole source the procurement of a NC500 Neuroscience Console Multi-Fiber Photometry System for research purposes. This sophisticated research equipment, manufactured by Neurophotometrics, is designed for neural circuit mapping and behavioral neuroscience studies. The system features advanced capabilities including high-throughput recording, dual-color imaging, and optogenetic stimulation functionality. The Special Notice was posted on June 16, 2025, with responses due by June 20, 2025. The procurement falls under the Laboratory Equipment and Supplies category and is classified under Research and Development in Nanotechnology for NAICS purposes.

The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire specialized neuroscience research equipment that will support the STVHCS Research Service's scientific investigations under the direction of Principal Investigator Dr. David Morilak. The NC500 system offers sophisticated technical specifications including simultaneous recording from up to 8 regions of interest, three integrated LED excitation wavelengths, ultra-sensitive sCMOS camera sensor, and optional fiber-coupled laser integration capabilities optimized for deep-brain imaging in freely moving animals. Contractors interested in this opportunity must maintain current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and will need to process invoicing through the Tungsten System. The equipment will be delivered to the STVHCS Research Service facility in San Antonio, Texas. Given the specialized nature of this neuroscience console and its specific technical requirements, the agency has indicated this as a sole source procurement, suggesting limited market availability for equivalent systems.
