AI Contract Overview
The contract is for the acquisition of a deep ultraviolet 304 nm laser source to enhance high-dimensional flow cytometry capabilities at the LP Research Flow Cytometry Facility within the National Cancer Institute’s Center for Cancer Research. This laser will enable the excitation of deep ultraviolet fluorescent probes, expanding the analytical capacity of existing spectral flow cytometers including Cytek, LSRII, LSR Fortessa, and Influx models without requiring new instrument purchases. The purchase includes the laser unit, power supply, all necessary cabling, and operational software as a complete system, though installation, optimization, and verification will be performed internally by NCI staff rather than by the vendor. The vendor is responsible for supplying the equipment, supervising its installation, and providing one year of warranty support. The contractor must offer ongoing technical support via telephone and email, with a local applications representative available for routine assistance and periodic on-site training. The solicitation is issued under the small business set-aside program as a total small business set-aside, with a NAICS code of 334513, and is managed by the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services. The contract opportunity was posted on July 14, 2026, with responses due by July 25, 2026, and the performance location is in Bethesda, Maryland. Primary contact for inquiries is John Burton, reachable via email at burtonjo@mail.nih.gov.

Full Description
Requirements:
- TITLE
Acquisition of deep ultraviolet 304 nm laser for high-dimensional flow cytometry
- BACKGROUND
The LP Research Flow Cytometry Facility provides essential cell sorting and flow cytometry analysis services to the Experimental Transplantation and Immunotherapy Branch, and other Branches and programs within the CCR.
This deep ultraviolet 304 nm laser is necessary for upgrade of our high dimension flow cytometers to allow excitation of deep ultraviolet fluorescent probes. This will allow expansion of our current high dimensional analysis capability without investing in an entirely new flow cytometer, since this unit can be installed on our Cytek spectral, LSRII, LSR Fortessa and Influx flow cytometers as required. It will allow both validation of these fluorochromes and their integration into current panels in the lab and support their use. Expansion of high-dimensional analysis capabilities requires these additional laser sources.
2.1 OBJECTIVE
The objective for this purchase is the acquisition of a deep ultraviolet 304 nm laser source suitable for flow cytometry. Deep ultraviolet 304 nm laser includes the laser unit, power supply, all required cabling and operations software. All items are included in the unit cost. Installation, optimization and verification is not included in the cost and will be carried out by NCI staff.
- SCOPE
The vendor will provide the system and supervise installation, as well as verification of operation. On year warranty support will be included with the system.
- CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS/ AND PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS
The contractor will provide technical support, both through telephone and e-mail. The local applications representative will be available both for routine support and also periodic on-site training.
