About this opportunity

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) intends to procure a Miniaturized Two-Photon Microscope (Mini2P) imaging system through a non-competitive sole source award to Thorlabs. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the agency's intent to negotiate and award a purchase order without providing for full and open competition. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. The notice was posted on July 1, 2025, with responses due by July 11, 2025, providing interested parties with a 10-day window to submit any relevant information. No specific evaluation criteria are outlined in this pre-solicitation notice, as it represents a notice of intent for sole source procurement rather than a competitive solicitation.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations, as indicated by the "No Set-Aside Used" classification. Thorlabs has been identified as the intended sole source contractor for the Mini2P microscope system, suggesting they may be the manufacturer or exclusive distributor of this specialized laboratory equipment. The notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, quantities of equipment to be procured, or timelines for delivery and performance. The procurement is categorized as civilian rather than defense-related, reflecting NICHD's role as a health research institute within the Department of Health and Human Services. Additional details regarding contract value, technical specifications, and performance requirements would typically be provided in the subsequent solicitation document.
