Requirement: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR), Division of Neurotoxicology, requires a Radial Flow Cell Culture System. Background/Statement of Need: The NCTR/Division of Neurotoxicology, is studying inhalation anesthetics' effects on developing central nervous system. The Division of Neurotoxicology desires to establish an in vitro model to expose neural cells or neural stem cells to inhalation anesthetics that are used in pediatric anesthesia. Therefore there is a need for a system in which cells can be cultured and exposed to various inhalation anesthetics, such as sevoflurane, isoflurane, nitrous oxide, or the combination of isoflurane and nitrous oxide, whose concentrations need to be accurately controlled. The exposure will be performed in chambers where the cells can maintain their physiological growth features; and accurate concentrations of gas anesthetics can be mixed with driven gas (e.g. biological incubation atmosphere) for cell exposure. The neural cells or neural stem cells will be cultured on different sizes of plates or dishes according to experimental purposes and be exposed to biological incubation atmosphere only to serve as controls; in the meantime, the cells will be exposed to clinically used inhalation anesthetics at different doses to test their potential adverse effects, which will be mixed with biological incubation atmosphere and injected into a sealed chamber. The concentrations of anesthetics in the mixed gases (inhalation anesthetics and biological incubation atmosphere) need to be controlled accurately by a system that has been verified to have the capability. Minimum Technical Specifications: • Environmental chambers composed of glass, polished stainless steel, or other components which are autoclavable • Heating supply of the cultures controlled by an external water bath • Environmental chambers for analyzing the biological effects of the test atmosphere, gaseous anesthetics coursed through vaporizer on cells in growth media dish • Environmental chambers modular in system design offering aerosol administration and the sampling the cell culture inserts • Environment coverage for multi dishes, ideally, 96 well and larger plates, with most usage of 12mm cell culture inserts and petri dishes • Environmental coverage for membrane inserts and cell culture inserts in size range from 6.5mm to 24mm • Mass flow, high-throughput controllers metered for individual chamber flow adjustments across multiple compounds of variable concentration. • Shall include all vacuum pumps, hoses, tubing, connectors filters or associated assembly components necessary for construction and environmental control Item #1 Radial Flow System for Cell-based Exposure (3 chambers configuration) To meet the above Minimum Technical Specifications Quantity: 1 Each Unit Price: _____________________ Extended Price: _____________________ Make: __________________________ Model: _________________________ Part Number(s): ____________________ GSA Contract Number (if applicable): ________________________ Item #2 Radial Flow System for Cell-based Exposure (6 chambers configuration) To meet the above Minimum Technical Specifications Quantity: 1 Each Unit Price: _____________________ Extended Price: _____________________ Make: __________________________ Model: _________________________ Part Number(s): ____________________ GSA Contract Number (if applicable): ________________________ PRICE QUOTES MUST BE INCLUSIVE OF SHIPPING, HANDLING, & DELIVERY FOB Destination with Inside Delivery - U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Center for Toxicological Research, 3900 NCTR Road, Jefferson, AR 72079 Contract Type - Commercial Item - Firm fixed price.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. The Provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offerors Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items, (Mar 2015) applies to this acquisition. An offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of the provision if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/#1. If an offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically at the website, the offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (o) of this provision. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the internet site for the release of an amendment to the combined synopsis/solicitation (if any).
