This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. It has been determined there are no opportunities to acquire green products or services for this procurement. I. Description of Contractor Requirements The NIH, NCI, CCR, Laboratory of Pathology seeks to procure a high throughput whole slide imaging instrument capable of imaging in both bright field and fluorescence. The instrument will be housed in the Experimental Pathology Laboratory, a section of LP, CCR, NCI, dedicated to LP-centric research projects including clinical and academic support for the investigators of LP, as well as LP-driven research projects carried out in the Laboratory if Pathology. The instrument will be used for a diverse set of studies, including imaging of cells, tissue (including anatomic pathology samples) and tissue microarrays in both bright field (transmitted light) and fluorescent (reflected) imaging modes. The following Salient Characteristics must be provided: • The instrument shall be a whole slide imager, capable of generating images of microscope slides in both brightfield (transmission, white light) and fluorescence imaging (reflective, monochromatic light). An external computer (controller) and light source(s) shall be included. • Must be an instrument capable of generating high-resolution (0.46 to 0.23 micron/pixel) "whole slide image" of microscope slides. • The instrument shall image in an "upright" fashion, such that the slide is on the bottom, the tissue rest on the slide and the cover slip is on top (up). • The instrument shall generate images via transmitted multi-spectrum white light and in reflective fluorescent modes. • The images shall be of a type where compression of the image format is controllable by the user to specify how compressed the image file is. • The output file format shall be compatible with existing image server/databases in the Laboratory of Pathology. (The laboratory currently has two databases, both from Leica, that do accept multiple image formats, however not all formats are supported.) 1. Specific features of the hardware include: 1.1 The instrument shall be a single unit, capable of imaging both fluorescent and brightfield coverslipped slides of 3 x 1 inch format. 1.2 The instrument and associated computer shall produce an output of a single file, representing an image pyramid, that can be viewed at different magnifications. 1.3 The instrument has an integrated bar code reader capable of reading slide label barcodes (1D and 2D and utilizing the encoded information as part of the file name of the final image file. 2. Specific features of the optics include: 2.1 A 20X objective, NA 0.75. 2.2 A Kohler condenser, matched in NA to the objective for transmitted (brightfield imaging). 2.3 Six excitation and six emission filter positions for fluorescent imaging. 2.4 Presence of an optical doubler to generate images at twice the spatial resolution (40X equivalent) as obtained with the 20X objective. 3. Specific features of slide loader include: 3.1 Loads 3 x 1 inch slides automatically 3.2 Has a capacity of 300 or greater slides. 4. Additional specific features of the instrument include: 4.1 The capacity to generate a multifocal plane (Z-stack) image of the entire scan-area (not limited to small regions). 4.2 The detector has a spatial resolution greater than 0.50 um/pixel at 20X and 0.25 um/pixel with the optical doubler in place. 5. The critical elements that are unique include: 5.1 One box for bright field and fluorescence. 5.2 Z-stack image of the entire slide. 5.3 300 slide capacity. Additional Requirements: • All shipping and handling cost must be included in the quote. • A minimum 12-month manufacturer warranty must be provided (please indicate this in the quote). II. Delivery: Contractor(s) shall deliver the item within 90 days after award to: NIH/NCI Bethesda, Maryland 20892. The Contractor that receives the award will be provided with the complete mailing address and point of contact. Upon delivery, contractor must notify the NCI Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to schedule the installation date and time. III. Installation: Contractor shall install the equipment (new) and have ready to use within seven (7) days after delivery and acceptance. IV. Payment: Payment shall be made after delivery, installation, and successful operation of equipment. Payment authorization requires submission and approval of invoice to the NCI COR and NIH Commercial Accounts. QUOTATIONS ARE DUE: September 15, 2017 at 11:00 AM EST.

Please refer to solicitation no: N02RC72721-61 on all correspondence. Evaluation Evaluation and award shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of FAR Subpart 12.6 in conjunction with Lowest Price-Technically Acceptable (LPTA). A technically acceptable offer is one in which the Offeror complies with the requirements/technical specifications stated above, and does not take exception, nor object to any of the terms contained in this request. Offers that are not technically acceptable will not be considered further. The technical evaluation will be a determination based on information furnished by the Contractor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information which is not identified in the quotation. The Government reserves the right to make an award without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may not be requesting revisions to quotations, so Offerors should provide their best solution and price in response to the solicitation. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received. If you are providing an "equal" product, you must submit additional documentation that highlights and describes how your offering is equal, in accordance with FAR 52.211-6. Price Quotation The Offeror shall prepare a price quotation that contains all information necessary to allow for a comprehensive evaluation of the prices quoted. Specifically, your quotation must include the following: - Federal Tax Identification Number (TIN); - Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number; - Business Size (e.g., small or large) The business quotation will be evaluated for reasonableness. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay when consideration is given to prices in the market. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404.
