- "This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposals abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are small business; HubZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small business; woman-owned small business; or small disadvantaged business; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your response to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice." We encourage teaming. The Office of Purchasing and Contracts does not intend to award a contract on the basis of responses received nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted. This Sources Sought Notice (SS) is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Government. Interested parties are expected to review this Notice and Purpose of this project; failure to do so will be at your firm's own risk. As a result of this Sources Sought Notice, the Office of Purchasing and Contracts may issue a Request for Quote (RFQ). THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. However, should such a requirement materialize, no basis for claims against the Office of Purchasing and Contracts (OPC) shall arise as a result of a response to this Sources Sought Notice or the Office of Purchasing and Contracts use of such information as either part of our evaluation process or in developing specifications for any subsequent requirement. In the event an RFQ is issued, North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334510 with a size standard of 500 employees is being considered. Purpose: The purpose of this project is to locate a provider who can provide the Clinical Center, Radiology Department with a set of Animal Circular RF Coils, dedicated for MR-HIFU research. One of the coils will have dimensions similar to the circular C1 surface coil of 17cm, and one coil will have dimensions similar to the Philips circular C3 surface coil of 11cm. The contractor shall include filtering for use of these coils with the Philips Sonalleve MR-HIFU Research System. These coils are to be used as investigational device for animal or phantom use only, and are not approved for clinical use. The contractor shall provide RF Coils to be used with Philips Achieva 1.5T MR System and the coils can be made available in Q4 2010. If any other interested party believes that it can meet the requirements it may submit a statement of capabilities and qualifications as outlined above which will be considered by the NIH. Additionally, the capability statement should identify the Type of Company (i.e., small business, 8 (a), woman-owned, veteran owned, etc.) as validated via the Central Contractor Registration (CCR).
