- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) have a requirement to purchase various components for a diode lasers from PicoQuant GMBH, Rudower Chaussee 20 IGZ, 12489 Berlin, Germany. These components are required to generate picosecond laser pulses for measurements of lifetimes of single molecules by time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC). The ability to measure TCSPC overcomes many of the difficulties encountered in intensity measurements on FRET pairs to obtain intermolecular distances in single molecules. The lasers will be incorporated into the Eaton single molecule instrument, and will be used to investigate single molecule trajectories of protein folding. The specifications shall be included in the system: PDL 808-SC ?SEPIA? - (Diode laser consisting of: mainframe with power supply and safety interlock, 1 free slot for oscillator module, 2 free slots for laser drivers, also for TE-cooled laser heads (LDH-C xxx)) SOM 808 ? Oscillator module for SEPIA systems (2.5 to 40 MHZ) SLM 808 B ? Laser driver module for SEPIA models, laserheads type ?PDL 800-B? LDH-P-C-635B ? Laser head with integrated collimator and TE cooler for temperature stabilization, high power version LDH-P-C-470 ? Laser head with integrated collimator and TE cooler for temperature stabilization The Institute intends to purchase this equipment by other than full and open competition from PicoQuant GMBH. To the best of the Governments knowledge they are the sole manufacturer and distributor of this equipment. Interested vendors may identify in writing their interest with a capability statement to the Contracting Officer prior to the closing date of this notice. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, however, all responses received before the closing date of this announcement will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed acquisition is based upon responses to this notice and is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. It is anticipated that Request for Quotation (RFQ) NIH-NIDDK-04-215 will be available fifteen (15) days after the publication date of this synopsis. Receipt of quotations will be due ten (10) days after the release of the RFQ. The anticipated award date is July 14, 2004. Request for copies of the RFQ must be in writing and may be FAXED to 301-480-8261. Quotations must be submitted in writing to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases 6707 Democracy Blvd., Room 773, Bethesda, Maryland 20817 Attention: Diana Ly. FAX quotations must contain offerors names, address, telephone number and fax number. FAX quotations will only be accepted if dated and signed by an authorized company representative.
