About this opportunity
The South Texas Veterans Health Care System (STVHCS), operating under the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, is seeking to procure an NC500 Neuroscience Console Multi-Fiber Photometry System manufactured by Neurophotometrics for research purposes. This sophisticated research equipment features advanced capabilities including multi-fiber, high-throughput recording, three excitation wavelengths for dual-color imaging, integrated optogenetic stimulation, and a compact plug-and-play design that enables simultaneous recording from up to 8 regions of interest. The system supports deep-brain imaging in freely moving animals and has versatile applications across neural circuit mapping, behavioral neuroscience, and sociosexual behavior studies. The procurement will be managed by STVHCS Principal Investigator Dr. David Morilak, with delivery required to the Research Service at 7400 Merton Minter Blvd, San Antonio, Texas. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on June 16, 2025, with a response deadline of June 19, 2025, providing a very short three-day window for interested contractors.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 541713 for Research and Development in Nanotechnology and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. The statement of work specifically identifies Neurophotometrics as the manufacturer of the required NC500 system, suggesting this may be a sole-source or brand-specific procurement. Contractors must maintain current registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) and invoicing will be processed through the Tungsten System. While specific award values and quantities are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement appears to be for a single specialized neuroscience research console system. The extremely tight timeline from posting to deadline suggests this may be an urgent research requirement or part of a broader research initiative at the South Texas Veterans Health Care System.
