Description
Page 1 of 1 The Department of Veterans Affairs, Gainesville VA, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, with Leica for CM3050 S Cryostat System. VA requires the following features for a research study for the VA Brain Rehabilitation Research Center: permanently cooled (down to -45°C) quick-freezeshelf for 10 specimen discs, an independent refrigeration system for object head, larger working area, section thickness setting as low as 0.5 µm, cryochamber temperature setting down to -40°C in 1° increments, fine knobs to orient the specimens (vs just moving and locking in place), precise specimen orientation and specimen feed system via step motor allow reproducible thin sections of maximum quality when working with large specimens, and an ergonomically designed low working height with seated knee space for sitting. The Leica CM3050 S cryostat was the only system that met all of the critical salient characteristics listed above. This is a notice of intent and is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any responsible source who can provide an equivalent equipment with these features described above may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than June 28th, 7AM, EST. Interest/capability statements may be sent to Lynn Portman at lynn.portman@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
