AI Contract Overview
The National Institutes of Health, through its Office of Logistics and Operations and the Hospital and Laboratory Support Division, intends to award a non-competitive contract to Bruker Nano, Inc. for the acquisition of an nVision Behavior Acquisition System, targeting a price not to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000. This procurement is conducted under FAR Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures, specifically invoking authority to solicit from a single source due to the unique technical requirements of the Holmes Laboratory at the Fishers Lane Animal Center, which relies on synchronized behavioral video recording alongside calcium imaging in freely moving rodents for neuroscience research. The system is necessary to advance ongoing studies on neural circuit dynamics and behavioral outcomes, complementing existing nVue and nVoke systems already in use. The contract will be governed by Federal Acquisition Circular 2026-01 and is classified under NAICS code 334516 with a size standard of $10 million. Interested parties may submit a technical and cost proposal, along with required certifications including the Unique Entity ID, Taxpayer Identification Number, and business size certification, to demonstrate capability to fulfill the requirement, although no competitive process is anticipated. All submissions must be received by June 22, 2026 at 9:00 AM Eastern Time and must reference solicitation number 75N98026Q00613, with responses directed via email to James Law, Contracting Officer. Full and open competition is not being pursued per FAR Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1), as the necessity for compatibility with existing systems and specialized functionality limits viable alternatives. The government retains sole discretion to decide whether to proceed non-competitively based on responses received or to initiate a competitive action. Participation requires an active SAM registration, and fax submissions are not accepted.

GENERAL INFORMATION
- Title: nVision Behavior Acquisition System
- Background Information: The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requires the purchase of an nVision for Synchronized Behavior Recordings System for use by the Holmes Laboratory at the Fishers Lane Animal Center. The laboratory conducts neuroscience research focused on understanding the neural basis of cognitive and emotional regulation through calcium imaging experiments in freely behaving rodents. Current studies utilize the nVue Imaging System and nVoke 2.0 Integrated Imaging and Optogenetics System to record neural activity in behaving mice. The requested nVision system will provide synchronized behavioral video acquisition during calcium imaging experiments, allowing simultaneous recording of animal behavior and neural activity. This capability is essential for correlating neural circuit dynamics with behavioral outcomes in ongoing research studies..
