The National Institutes of Health, under the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs within the Department of Health and Human Services, is procuring a NanoZoomer S60v2 Digital Slide Scanner through a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1, identifying Hamamatsu Corp. as the only responsible source capable of meeting the unique technical requirements for high-resolution whole-slide imaging in histological and pathological research. The solicitation, numbered 75N98026Q00365, was posted on May 14, 2026, with responses due by May 24, 2026, and is intended to result in a firm-fixed-price purchase order. All performance and delivery are to occur at the NIH facility in Bethesda, Maryland, ZIP 20892, where the scanner will be deployed for automated fluorescent and brightfield imaging of tissue samples to enhance diagnostic accuracy and streamline research workflows. Although the notice invites small businesses to submit capability statements, the award is non-competitive and no set-aside applies, as Hamamatsu Corp. is not classified as a small business and possesses exclusive technical capabilities not replicable by other vendors. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing details, packaging requirements, or specific inspection standards are included in this pre-solicitation notice, as it serves only to announce intent rather than issue a binding solicitation. The only specified submission requirement is a written capability statement to be sent via email to [email hidden], with no guidelines provided on format, length, or file type. Key details such as contract value, delivery schedule, FOB terms, accounting codes, invoicing procedures, and point of contact roles beyond David Shen are absent. The system must meet functional performance expectations including high-resolution digital scanning, multi-slide automation, and compatibility with research applications, but no codified technical standards like ISO or MIL-STD are cited. The procurement is limited to a single unit with no additional options, personnel requirements, or special conditions outlined, reflecting a direct acquisition justified solely by the unique, non-replicable nature of the Hamamatsu NanoZoomer S60v2 platform.
