About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations is issuing a Notice of Intent to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order for a motorized objective lens to Evident Scientific MIS, Inc. under FAR Part 6.302-1 (sole-source justification), with small business capability statement responses due by September 14, 2026.
The Government requires an Evident FV30-AC25W motorized objective lens for integration with an existing Evident/Olympus FVMPE-RS multiphoton microscope and its proprietary FLUOVIEW control software. The motorized lens automatically corrects spherical aberration, an optical distortion that degrades image quality when imaging deep biological tissue samples. The Government has determined that this specific model is critical and that alternative objective lenses—even with thread adapters—would break the automated software feedback loop required for optimal collar positioning and negate the purpose of motorized collar acquisition.
Although this procurement is not competitive, small businesses (including 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and women-owned small businesses) may submit written capability statements to david.shen@nih.gov demonstrating their ability to perform the requirement. Award is anticipated approximately ten days after the notice date unless the Government determines another vendor can meet the requirement. The Government reserves sole discretion to compete the award based on capability statement responses.
