AI Contract Overview
The contract concerns the procurement of a Confocal Super Resolution Microscope (SRM) for Brookhaven National Laboratory, part of the Department of Energy. The system must deliver true confocal point scanning with a tunable white light laser covering the visible spectrum, capable of simultaneous multi-line operation with independent intensity adjustments and rapid microsecond-scale switching between excitation modes. It is required to feature broadband spectral detection approximately between 400 and 850 nm with multiple independently configurable detection channels. Additional capabilities include FLIM (fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy) and FCS (fluorescence correlation spectroscopy), as well as analytical tools for functional parameter mapping and FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer). The microscope must support super-resolution imaging in both 2D and 3D STED nanoscopy across the visible spectrum, achieving lateral resolution of around 30 nm. The instrument should operate under a unified software platform that enables automated calibration, lifetime fitting, super-resolution reconstruction, and integration with external analysis software. The solicitation was posted on May 6, 2026, with responses due by June 8, 2026, and is managed by Mark Brock at Brookhaven National Laboratory, located in Upton, New York. The contract falls under NAICS code 334516 and does not employ any set-aside status.

Full Description
This is for the procurement of a Confocal Super Resolution Microscope (SRM) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The SRM instrument should provide true confocal point scanning with a tunable white light laser excitation source of visible range capable of simultaneous multi-line operation with independent intensity control and rapid microsecond-scale switching between excitation regime, broadband spectral detection in the range approximately 400–850 nm, with multiple independently configurable detection channels, FLIM/FCS functionality, and analytical tools enabling functional parameter mapping and FRET. Super-resolution
performance should include both 2D and 3D STED nanoscopy across the visible spectrum, with possibility to acquire super-resolution imaging at ~30 nm lateral resolution. The instrument should operate within a unified software environment supporting automated calibration, lifetime fitting, super-resolution reconstruction, and compatibility with external analysis platforms.
