--Notice of Intent to award a sole source purchase order to Data Integrated Scientific Systems (DISS)for Biotelemetry equipment for Non-human Primates.

The contract intends to award a sole source purchase order to Data Integrated Scientific Systems (DISS) for the acquisition of specialized cardio/respiratory telemetry implants designed specifically for non-human primates. These implants must be fully compatible with existing equipment previously obtained from DISS and are required to transmit critical physiological data, including aortic and left ventricular pressure, inner thoracic pressure, ECG, and temperature. The telemetry devices must operate on unique frequencies to prevent interference in group housing environments, have a transmission range of four meters, and sustain a continuous battery life of twelve months. The items to be procured include two telemetry implants, one waveform test generator for non-human primates, and one implant power controller—a radio frequency device capable of remotely activating or deactivating implant batteries without physical contact. The rationale for selecting DISS is based on the company's unique ability to meet all specified technical criteria. Potential alternative suppliers have been invited to present justifications and contact the designated official by the specified deadline, ensuring transparency before finalizing the purchase.
