About this opportunity
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke seeks to procure one three photon laser system with an integrated second pump laser to further its research understanding communication between the neocortex and cerebellum during animal learning. The laser must meet specified technical requirements for compact footprint size, repetition rates, wavelengths, pulse energies, and pulse durations. Quotations are due by January 17, 2024 and will be evaluated without further discussions under solicitation number 75N95024Q00090 issued pursuant to FAR Parts 12 and 13 for commercial items.
There are no set-aside designations. The primary NAICS code is 334510 and PSC code is J070. The place of performance will be the agency's Neocortex-Cerebellum Circuitry Lab. The solicitation requests one laser system meeting requirements for a maximum footprint of approximately 22" x 13" x 9" and pulse energies no less than 2-3 microjoules within given repetition rate ranges for imaging of deep neural structures beyond the capabilities of conventional two photon microscopy.
Notice text
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is the leading federal agency responsible for conducting and supporting research on the brain and nervous system. It is a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Part of the NINDS mission is to promote the timely dissemination of scientific discoveries and their implications for neurological health to the public, health professionals, researchers, and policymakers.
A major goal of the research performed by the Neocortex-Cerebellum Circuitry Lab within NINDS is to understand communication between the neocortex and cerebellum while animals learn novel behavioral skills over weeks. The lab measures activity in both cortex and cerebellum simultaneously using a custom dual-site two-photon microscope, across multiple genetically defined populations using dual-wavelength two-color imaging, and by combining imaging of one neural population with stimulation of another. To build a microscope capable of imaging far deeper structures than accessible to conventional two photon imaging, we must build an imaging system around a laser for three photon absorption imaging.
NINDS requires one (1) three photon laser with integrated second pump laser, which meets the below salient characteristics:
A. Compact Footprint: The total footprint of the three photon laser head AND integrated pump laser must be no larger than 569.0 mm x 320.0 mm x 237.7 mm (22.40" x 12.60" x 9.36").
B. Three photon laser:
i. Maximum user-tunable repetition rate of at least 4 MHz
ii. Single wavelength centered between 1600-1700 nm
iii. 500 nJ typical of pulse energy from 1 – 4 MHz (>400 nJ minimum)
iv. Pulse duration between 50-100 fs
C. Integrated pump laser specifications:
i. Wavelength must be in the range of 1000-1100 mn
ii. Maximum user-tunable repetition rate of at least 10 MHz
iii. >20 W of time-averaged power at 11 MHz
iv. >3 uJ from 1 - 5 MHz and >2 uJ at maximum repetition rate of 11 MHz
v. Pulse durations of <250 fs
vi. Integrated motorized dispersion pre-compensation for drive laser
D. Warranty that covers parts and labor for at least 12 months.
