- Description
- *Modified to correct the millimeters on the 2 nd salient characteristic from 955 mm to 95 mm. Please see below. Description The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Cancer Center Research (CCR), Molecular Imaging Program (MIP) plans to procure on a sole source basis the brand name NanoPET/CT Small Animal PET In vivo Imaging System from Bioscan, Inc.; 4590 MacArthur Blvd N.W. ; Washington DC 20007-4258. This acquisition will be processed under FAR Part 12 – Acquisition for Commercial Items and will be made pursuant to the authority in FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) and 13.501-(a)(1) using simplified acquisition procedures for commercial acquisitions. The North American Industry Classification System code is 334516 and the business size standard is $7 million employees. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. Delivery Date: 90 days from date of award. The acquisition of the proposed NanoPET/CT Small Animal PET In vivo Imaging System will will allow the NCI to image PET injected animals (mice or rats) for a PET scan or CT scan or both. These images will validate an animal biodistribution for the imaging agents under research. Therefore, this instrument is important to the NCI’s pre-clinical research in the program. This will enable MIP to conduct microPET and CT imaging at a competitive level with other research institutions performing similar imaging work. It will also provide CCR investigators to integrate PET and CT scanning into their pre-clinical research. The type of research being planned requires scanning many mice to study one imaging agent, thus requiring high throughput by scanning up to three mice at once. The new scanner will allow for simultaneous multi-mouse imaging. Finally, it is envisioned that the preclinical research program may endeavor to study imaging agents in larger animals, including rhesus monkeys. The following salient characteristics apply to the NanoPET/CT Small Animal PET In vivo Imaging System : Not to exceed 162cm D x 145cm W x 145cm Minimum Axial Field of View (AFOV) for PET Imaging of 95 mm Active PET Transaxial Field of View (TFOV) range from 30-125mm Active CT TFOV up to 120mm Preclinical handling system with plug-in animal beds High density LYSO crystal array detectors with pixels <1.12mm x 1.12mm and packing fraction >92% Complete 360 degree PET detector ring consisting of 12 detector modules with a total of 37,908 ultra-small detectors Option to scan 3 mice simultaneously Option for imaging larger animals models with imaging cell diameter of 150mm to include temperature and anesthesia control modules Advanced detector design with Quality Control check Three scanning modules to select based on the type of imaging being performed – an ultra high resolution mode with a TFOV of 45mm for scanning a mouse or rat brain, a mode for providing a balance of sensitivity and resolution for whole body mouse or rat imaging, and a mode for providing an ultra high sensitivity acquisition mode in a TFOV of 123mm for scanning multiple mice or larger animals such as monkeys Open access imaging system with a one step animal loading procedure to include a single motion PET and CT acquisition and software enabled fusion of PET and CT images Open access PET system with unobstructed view and acces to animal for tracer injection CT scanning to include a micro-focus X-ray source with user-selectable magnification to scan with voxel sizes (9µm to 37µm) Real-time image reconstruction for PET and CT imaging Installation – must be new product Service – must include no less than two (2) years The NCI already owns a NanoSPECT/CT from Bioscan which has the same animal scanning bed as the NanoPET/CT. The new animal bed must be interchangeable with both instruments and allow NCI to transfer the mouse from one instrument to another enabling repeatable positioning of the animal. NCI also already has the anesthesia set up for the NanoPET/CT since the connections are the same as in the NanoSPECT/CT. The Bioscan NanoPET/CT Small Animal PET In vivo Imaging System is the only known commercial instrument with the unique characteristics critical for research in the NCI. Bioscan is the sole manufacturer and distributor of this equipment. No other known sources exist to provide this equipment. The features mentioned above are necessary for the mission of the lab. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, they may submit a statement of capabilities. All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow the NCI to determine if it can meet the above unique specifications described herein. An original and one copy of the capability statement must be received at the NCI Office of Acquisitions on or before 11:00 AM EST on August 16, 2010. No electronic capability statements will be accepted (i.e. email or fax), an original and one copy must be sent to the NCI Office of Acquisitions to the address stated above. All questions must be in writing and can be faxed (301) 402-4513 or emailed to Karri Mares, Contract Specialist at maresk@mail.nih.gov. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract 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. In order to receive an award, contractors must have valid registration and certification in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) www.ccr.gov and the Online Representations and Certifications Applications (ORCA), http://orca.bpn.gov. No collect calls will be accepted. Please reference solicitation number NCI-100136-KM on all correspondences.
