- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), Molecular Imaging Program (MIP), plans to procure on a sole source basis a FLA5000 System from FujiFILM Medical system Inc. 419 West Av,. Stamford, CT 06902. The MIP develops and tests new targeted imaging probes for the detection and characterization of cancer. Scientists are developing novel imaging agents using MRI, optical, radionuclide and PET emitters or ?beacons?. One of the major new types of imaging probes is fluorescent optical imaging agents that can only be ?excited? and detected with special cameras. The program is developing a variety of new optical imaging probes linked to specific receptor-ligands that can be used in vivo and require special imaging cameras. The FLA5000 System is the only scanning system that has a near infrared excitation laser (670 nm), which is exactly the wave length feasible for human use. The near infrared light is a unique light with approximately 670 nm wave length, which can penetrate deep enough to visualize deep within the human body. Therefore, to apply newly-developed imaging agents to human study, we require optical readers that confirm the exact location of the imaging probe within tissue during the animal testing phase of development. This item 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. FujiFILM Medical system Inc. is the only source known to the end user that is capable of providing a near infrared fluorescence scanning system for gross tissue that meets the above required specification. 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 researcher 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 8, 2004. 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.
