- Description
- Contracting Office Address: Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Institutes on Drug Abuse, Station Support Simplified Acquisitions, Introduction: This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal 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 businesses; HUBZone small businesses; service-disabled, veteran-owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran-owned small businesses; woman-owned small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; and (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition. Your responses 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. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this potential requirement is the acquisition of a PIN diode detector to be used by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Molecular Imaging Branch (MIB) for the production of PET radiotracers for molecular imaging study in human subjects. Project requirements: The NIMH requires PIN diode gamma radiation detector integrated into liquid chromatography systems in the new cGMP facility. In addition, the level of gamma radiation on several different components in the apparatus must be monitored by pin diode detectors. The exact specs for these radiation sensors are as follows: 1.The PIN diode gamma detector system must have a dynamic range from ca. 1 mCi to ca.1000 mCi. 2.The flow count (an electronic board that amplifies the current from the sensor) must have output range from 0 to 1 V or above. 3.It is desirable that the flow count module has two inputs depending on the type of detector, i.e. one for NaI/PMT detector and another one for PIN diode detector. 4.The flow count module can provide a current to voltage converter with different gain that is chosen by the user to increase the dynamic range of the signal (current source). 5.Suitable cables for PIN diode sensor must be supplied. 6.Flow count module must supply gamma radiation signal from the prep HPLC flow cell for each of the four (4) hot cells. 7.Additional pin diode detectors (8 of each) other than the HPLC purpose are required. Amplifier boards and analog to digital conversion is achieved by NIMH equipment. The signals from the following locations will be displayed on GUI of AutoRad. The signal from the following location will be processed by AutoRad radiac card. The radioactivity in these locations ranges approximately from 10 mCi to 2000 mCi. Supply suitable pin diodes for the CO trap, CO2 silica trap, Autoclave, Hydrolysis, [11C]methyl ioide trapping station, HCN trapping vial, CO2 molecular sieve 13x, and extra.. 8.A warranty is optional. Anticipated Period of Performance: It is expected that delivery and installation will be completed within four (4) weeks after receipt of order. Capability statement /information sought: Interested organizations must provide clear and convincing documentation of their capability of providing the item(s) specified in this notice. Interested organizations that believe they possess the ability to provide the required must submit specific documentation of their ability to meet each of the project requirements to the Contract Specialist. Interested organizations must provide their Company Name, DUNS number, Physical Address, and Point of Contact Information. Interested organizations are required to identify their type of business, applicable North American Industry Classification System Code, and size standards in accordance with the Small Business Administration. The Government requests that no proprietary or confidential business data be submitted in a response to this notice. However, responses that indicate the information therein is proprietary will be properly safeguarded for Government use only. Capability statements must include the name and telephone number of a point of contact having authority and knowledge to discuss responses with Government representatives. Capability statements in response to this market survey that do not provide sufficient information for evaluation will be considered non-responsive. When submitting this information, please reference the solicitation notice number. All responses to this notice must be submitted electronically to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer. Facsimile responses are NOT accepted. All capability statements sent in response to this Sources Sought Notice must be submitted electronically (via email) to Megan Ault, Contract Specialist, at megan.ault@nih.gov in MS Word format by or before the closing date of this announcement. All responses must be received by the specified due date and time in order to be considered. The response must be received on or before June 18, 2014 by 11:00 AM (EDT). Note: This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract or otherwise pay for the information provided in response. The Government reserves the right to use information provided by respondents for any purpose deemed necessary and legally appropriate. Any organization responding to this notice should ensure that its response is complete and sufficiently detailed to allow the Government to determine the organization's qualifications to perform the work. Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted. After a review of the responses received, a presolicitation synopsis and solicitation may be published in Federal Business Opportunities. However, responses to this notice will not be considered adequate responses to a solicitation. The solicitation release date is pending. The Government intends to negotiate a fixed-price purchase order. No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in your response. The Government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary technical information in any resultant solicitation(s).
