About this opportunity
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, is soliciting proposals for Neuropixels electrodes to support neuropsychology research investigating higher brain functions in nonhuman primates. The specific requirement is for two boxes of 5 Neuropixels (NP1032) 1.0 NHP long (45mm) probes manufactured by Interuniversitair Micro-Electronica Centrum (IMEC), or equivalent products meeting specified technical characteristics. These electrodes must have active recording capabilities for deep brain structures, with 2000-4000 recording contacts, ability to simultaneously record over 380 channels, and sufficient durability for multiple brain penetrations. The solicitation will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, with electronic proposals due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 6, 2025, to be submitted to joseph.kennedy@nih.gov. The full and open competition is conducted under FAR Parts 12 and 13, associated with NAICS code 541713.
The solicitation is designated for small businesses with a size standard of 1000 employees. Delivery of the electrodes is required within 120 days after contract award, with the shipping destination set at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda, Maryland. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the procurement is for two boxes of specialized neurological research equipment. The place of performance is confirmed as Bethesda, MD 20892, USA. The research objectives involve exploring deep brain structures in nonhuman primates to evaluate relationships between neural structures and primate behavior, specifically focusing on higher brain functions such as learning, memory, and reward-related decision making. The solicitation falls under the Research and Development in Nanotechnology NAICS category and the Cardiology PSC category.
Notice text
The Laboratory of Neuropsychology investigates higher brain functions such as learning, memory, and reward-related decision making. These studies require electrodes to explore deep structures in the nonhuman primate brain to evaluate the relationship between these structures and primate behavior.
