About this opportunity
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), a component of the Department of Defense, is soliciting quotes for mouse brain neurohistology services through Request for Quote (RFQ) HU000126QE008. The requirement involves specialized histological processing and staining of mouse brain hemispheres to support research on delayed effects of acute radiation exposure on the central nervous system. Prospective vendors must demonstrate technical competence in neurohistology processes, quality control procedures, and delivery schedules, and must provide evidence of past performance from two to four contracts completed within the past three years. Award decisions will be made on a best-value basis considering technical factors, past performance history, and price, rather than price alone. The deadline for submitting quotes is March 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST, with questions due by March 19, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. All quoters must be registered and active in SAM.gov and submit proposals via email to the Contracting Officer Christopher White and Contract Specialist Shea Foster.
This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with no identified current contractor or incumbent. While no specific dollar value is stated, the scope involves processing 40 mouse brain hemispheres through embedding, sectioning at 35-micrometer thickness, immunofluorescence and histological staining across two anatomical regions (cortex and cerebellum/brainstem), and subsequent delivery of both finished slides and free-floating sections. Work shall be performed at the vendor's facility in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice principles, with the vendor responsible for establishing a detailed delivery schedule following contract award and receipt of materials from USUHS. The finished slides and unstained sections must be delivered to USUHS at 4301 Jones Bridge Road, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, with quote prices valid for a minimum of 30 days and inclusive of all shipping costs to this destination.
