1.0 DESCRIPTION This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products prepared in accordance with RFO FAR Part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotations are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation No. 75N98026Q01227 is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for EVOS M5000 Microscope for Monitoring and Documenting Cultured Cell Images. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), intends to procure, on a sole source basis, an EVOS M5000 Imaging System from the manufacturer, Thermo Fisher Scientific. The EVOS M5000 Imaging System is required to support cell imaging and analysis conducted by the laboratory within the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). The system will be used to image and analyze cells grown in culture and is a critical component of new and ongoing research projects. The EVOS M5000 Imaging System will replace aging and outdated imaging equipment that no longer meets the laboratory's current requirements for work involving cultured cells. The required system provides the specific combination of capabilities necessary for the laboratory's research, including a compact, fully integrated configuration suitable for use within the laboratory's existing biological safety cabinet (BSC); position tracking for longitudinal monitoring of live cells; integrated quantitative analysis for cell counting, confluence, and transfection/transduction efficiency; and multi-modal imaging of both live cultured cells and fixed or fluorescently stained specimens. The Government intends to procure the EVOS M5000 Imaging System on a sole-source basis from Thermo Fisher Scientific. The required system includes a fully integrated digital inverted microscope capable of four-color fluorescence, transmitted-light, and color imaging; a high-sensitivity 3.2 MP monochrome camer…
