Description

Small Business Sources Sought / Intent to Sole Source Notice Number: HHS-NIH-NCI-SBSS-TSB-77023-25 Title: - Moor Instruments Full Field Laser Perfusion Imaging System 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. This requirement is assigned a code of 339112 in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), and the size standard for such requirements is 1000 employees. 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. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement as a set-aside based upon responses to this Notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Interested parties are expected to review this Notice and the draft Statement of Work to familiarize themselves with the requirements of this project; failure to do so will be at your firm's own risk. Background: The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is dedicated to exploring complementary and alternative healing practices in the context of rigorous science; educating and training researchers; and disseminating authoritative information to the public and professionals. To fulfill its mission, NCCIH supports a broad-based portfolio of research, research training, and educational grants and contracts, as well as various outreach mechanisms to disseminate information. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is anticipating awarding a fixed-price non-competitive purchase order to Moor Instruments, Inc. of Wilmington Delaware for the purchase of a Full Field Laser Perfusion Imaging System. In the clinical setting, NCCIH will use the imaging system to identify differences in axon reflex response following various neurological conditions, e.g. hyper reactivity in chronic pain states and deficits in neural response for patients carrying compound-inactivating mutations. Usage of the same device in rodent studies modelling these neurological/genetic conditions permits optimal translational value. As such, they require a device with adequate resolution and sensitivity to measure subtle changes in injury-induced axon reflex in both humans and rodents. As a result of intensive market research, the Full Field Laser Perfusion Imaging System is the only system on the market with the image resolution of 10μm/pixel providing the capacity for image sizes as small as 5.6mm x 7.5mm ranging up to15cm x 20cm, enabling usage in both rodents and humans. The perfusion unit (PU) range goes up to 5000 PU which is the widest range on the market and allows for collection of the most detailed perfusion data which can help NCCIH reveal subtle inter-individual differences when performing their research. The signal to noise ratio is optimized by having the speckle calculation based on 5x5 pixel array. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this Small Business Sources Sought Notice (SBSS) is to identify qualified small business concerns that are interested in and capable of performing the work described herein. On behalf of NCCIH, the NCI does not intend to award a contract on the basis of responses received nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted. As a result of this SBSS Notice, the NCI 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 NCI shall arise as a result of a response to this Small Business Sources Sought Notice or the NCI's use of such information as either part of our evaluation process or in developing specifications for any subsequent requirement. Project Requirements: The contractor will provide the brand name Full Field Laser Perfusion Imaging system which meets the following specifications:  Full Field Laser Perfusion Imager 780nm imaging camera with inbuilt CCD with motorized zoom and auto focus with manual over-ride  Lens cover  power supply and mains lead  USB and fire-wire (IEEE) leads for PC connection  User manual  Microstand  Installation and Training (including travel expense)  Shipping, Handling, and Insurance. Moor Instruments, Inc. is the only responsible source and no other systems will satisfy agency requirements. The proposed contract action is for services which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Moor Instruments, Inc., under the authority of FAR 6.302. Delivery: Delivery of this purchase is estimated 30 days after award. Other Important Considerations:  Draft Statement of Work: A copy of the draft Statement of Work (SOW), which is subject to revisions, is attached.  Include taxes, shipping and handling/customs fees and special handling instructions.  Include descriptive literature, warranties, and /or other information that demonstrates the ability to meet the above specifications. Capability Statement/Information Sought: Respondents must be qualified and prepare tailored capability statements for all areas in the attached draft Statement of Work. The capability statements will be evaluated based on the information provided in relation to the project requirement and current capability. Information Submission Instructions: 1. Page Limitations: Interested qualified small business organizations should submit a tailored capability statement for this requirement not to exceed ten (10) single sided pages including all attachments, resumes, charts, etc. (single spaced, 12 point font minimum) that clearly details the firm's ability to perform the aspects of the notice described above and in the draft SOW.
