The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), Station Support Contracts and Simplified Acquisitions Branch (SS/SA) on behalf of the National Institute on Aging intends to negotiate and award a contract for Flow Cytometry Analyzer (BD FACS Symphony Flow Cytometry A3(X30)). NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE The intended procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516 with a Size Standard of 1,000 employees. REGULATORY AUTHORITY The resultant contract will include all applicable provisions and clauses of the Federal acquisition Requlation (FAR) in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-95 dated Jaunary 2017.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT Project Description Flow Cytometry Analyzer. The NIA intends to purchase a BD FACS Symphony Flow Cytometry A3(X30) to provide for continued needs of current users and the analysis of their data on an identical instrument to allow for continuation and reproductivity of their experiments. This analyzer consists of a BD FACS Symphony analyzer, and is capable of 30 parameters of data acquisition (28 colors) in the configuration of 5 detectors (PMTs) from the 488nm laser (150mW), 3 PMTS from the 637nm laser (140mW), 5 PMTs from the yellow-green 561nm laser (150mW), 8 PMTs from the violet 405nm laser (100mW), and 7 PMTs from a 355nm UV laser (20mW). The purchase includes a FACS Symphony Z230TWR workstation bundle with the latest version of Diva software (v8.0.2 and above), monitors, fluiditics cart with air compressor, temperature control option, and a small number of consumables (sheath, FACSclean, CS&T beads); as well as access to the proprietary fluorochromes developed by BD Biosciences and only available to Symphony analyzer users. Purpose and Objectives The objective is for infrastructure replacement and improvements to current non-upgradable instruments that have passed their lifespan. The Flow Cytometry Shared Resource Laboratory is a core facility at the NIA Intramural Research Program (IRP) that provides analytical flow cytometry and cell sorting services as well as access to instrumentatino which is essential to the biomedical research mission of the NIA IRP. The goal is to expand both the capacity and capabilities of the laboratory and keep the flow cytometry core state of the art.
