This acquisition will be processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) and is a small business concern. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 333999, which has a business size standard of 500. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases intends to procure a two vessel expandable fermentation system on a sole source basis from Appropriate Technical Resource, the only known source. The instrument is to test the expression effectiveness and efficiency of novel clones. The system will pick ‘winning' clones by allowing fermentations of small volumes of multiple vessels at one time before transferring the clone to another group to scale up the fermentation. This system shall measure stirrer speed, temperature, pH, P02, level, mass flow, feed and mixed gases for two fermentation systems using the same controller simultaneously. It must also be able to measure turbidity, biomass, exit gas analysis and substrate. Addition required features are as follows: Multiple, parallel fermentation, plug and pump (Autoclavable, removable pumps, 1 L Vessels should have comparable performance to a large scale fermentation system designed for upgrading and servicing, menu options that restrict a new user from changing settings, PC interface process control software (include a PC workstation for controlling the fermentation systems and data logging, with software such as Iris V5 for data logging, analysis archiving and control of the fermentation system. Balances or biosensors to be configured in the software and for data from theses devices to be recorded by the software. The software must allow the user to calibrate probes, set upper and lower set points for critical process parameters and allow for data analysis to the end of the fermentation. Data should be viewable as text, line, or bar graphs and the software should include audible alarms to warn us when a parameter is out of specification. It must be possible for data to be analyzed using graphical comparisons and correlations to allow us to pick the best clone to move forward in our Process Development Program.). The following instrument and products may be acquired under this acquisition: Item/Description/ Quantity 1) Multifors 2x1000mL w/v 14mL T/V Bacterial Bioreactor (Quantity 1). The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1) price, 2) warranty, and 3) technical capability to meet required specifications. Place of delivery NIH/NIAID, Rockville, Maryland, 20852.
