- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Laboratory of Functional and Molecular Imaging (LFMI) plans to procure from NOVA Medical, Inc., 4 Railroad Ave., Suite 303, Wakefield, MA 01880, RF transmission and MRI signal reception hardware for their Government owned 7.0T human MRI System. The LFMI performs research in neuroimaging, primarily based on Magnetic Resonance (MR) related techniques, including development of novel neuroimaging applications. The highly sensitivity signal detectors will provide for increased image resolution not currently available on the 7.0T human MRI system. The performance of the RF and signal detection subsystem of an MRI scanner is critical for overall performance, and ultimately determine available sensitivity. This patented (#09/684,680) technology is only available from NOVA Medical and will allow uniform RF excitation and multi-channel MRI signal detection, resulting in superior sensitivity. The requirements for the RF transmission and MRI signal reception hardware are: 1) transmit system should allow RF excitation with 7KW peak RF power; 2) receive system must have an isolation of 25dB or better from the transmission system; 3) less than 10% coupling between elements of the e-channel receive system when scanning human heads; 4) pre-amplifiers of the receive system must have a noise-figure small than 0.8dB; and 5) the input impedance of the receiver pre-amplifiers must be less than 1.5 Ohms. This equipment is commercial as defined in FAR Part 2, and this acquisition is being made in accordance with the test program using simplified procedures for certain commercial items as authorized in FAR 13.5. This is not a request for competitive quotation. However, if any interested party believes it can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities and any other information furnished must be in writing and must contain material in sufficient detail to allow the NINDS research to determine if the party can perform this requirement. An original and one copy of the capability statements must be received in the contracting office by 1:00 p.m. EDT, on September 9, 2002. All questions must be in writing and can be faxed to (301) 402-4513 or emailed to dm170b@nih.gov . It is the vendor?s responsibility to call (301) 402-4509 to insure questions have been received. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No collect call will be accepted. NAICS 334516
