LSM990 Confocal Airyscan2 System
Solicitation # 75N98026Q00888
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders at the National Institutes of Health intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Carl Zeiss Microscopy for the procurement of a LSM 990 microscope equipped with the Airyscan-2 detector. This system is critical for high-resolution imaging of mouse inner ear tissues and live zebrafish cellular structures, offering superior spatial resolution and sensitivity compared to the current aging LSM780 system, which is no longer supported with service contracts or replacement parts. The Airyscan-2 technology is proprietary to Zeiss and essential for achieving publication-quality data, enabling high-resolution imaging at lower laser power to reduce photobleaching and phototoxicity during extended live experiments. The LSM 990 is also compatible with the existing ZEN software platform, ensuring seamless integration and faster processing of datasets, which will significantly improve throughput and efficiency for multiple NIDCD laboratories. The contract requires delivery, installation, re-alignment, and recalibration of the system at the specified location in Bethesda, Maryland, with the quoted price covering all costs including shipping, installation, training, and warranty. Offerors must submit their quotations electronically to Tina Robinson by August 6, 2026, before 9:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time, and must maintain an active System for Award Management registration throughout the contract lifecycle to be eligible for award. The solicitation follows FAR Part 12 and 13.5 guidelines and includes applicable federal and HHS clauses covering prompt payment, electronic submissions, anti-lobbying, and equal employment opportunity compliance. No set-aside provisions apply, and only the specified Zeiss system meets the technical requirements due to its unique Airyscan-2 capabilities.
