The Department of Health and Human Services intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole source contract for the procurement of three high-sensitivity Electron Multiplying Charge-Coupled Device (EMCCD) cameras, specifically the Teledyne Princeton Instruments ProEM-HS:512BX3. This requirement includes manufacturer-provided cables, power supplies, and interface components necessary to restore the operation of a custom-built Tri-color single-molecule tracking (SMT) microscope system located in Bethesda, Maryland. This acquisition is classified under NAICS code 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, and PSC 6640, LABORATORY EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES. The award is being processed under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold where only one source is reasonably available.
The SMT system is a unique, custom-built Highly Inclined and Laminated Optical sheet (HILO) platform that supports single-molecule imaging and tracking for various cancer research projects. The specific Teledyne Princeton Instruments cameras are required to maintain compatibility with existing hardware integration and current control software. By utilizing these specific components, the government aims to avoid the re-engineering and revalidation of the system while preserving the continuity of multi-year legacy datasets essential to ongoing research.
While this notice is not a request for competitive quotes, interested parties may submit a capability statement to demonstrate how competition would benefit the government. All responses must be submitted via email to John Alozie at [email protected] by 12:00 PM ET on April 8, 2026, and must reference notice identifier HHS-NOI-NCI-7378300. Information received will be used solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, and the government will not provide reimbursement for any costs associated with the submission of capability information.
