Biomedical Illumination System Supply and Integration

The National Institutes of Health, under the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking a subcontract to procure and integrate the Modulight ML8500 biomedical illumination system, a specialized device designed to emit precise wavelengths of 680 nm and 690 nm for molecular imaging research. This system is critical for advancing non-invasive imaging techniques in biomedical studies, supporting high-sensitivity detection of molecular targets in living tissues. The contract requires full integration of the system into existing NIH laboratory infrastructure at the Bethesda location, ensuring compatibility with current imaging platforms and compliance with federal research standards. The equipment must be delivered, installed, calibrated, and validated to meet exact technical specifications for reproducible experimental outcomes. The solicitation is open for responses until July 18, 2026, with the opportunity classified under NAICS code 334516 for medical equipment manufacturing. Performance will be executed at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, with all delivery and integration obligations tied to that location. Despite the absence of specific set-aside provisions or point of contact details, the contract is structured as a subcontract, indicating the prime contractor may already be engaged or will be selected to oversee the integration effort. All submissions must demonstrate technical capability, proven experience with similar systems, and a clear plan for deployment, training, and ongoing technical support to ensure uninterrupted research operations.
