AI Contract Overview
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, under the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking a presolicitation response for the procurement of a Percival incubator. This equipment is critical for maintaining Dictyostelium cell lines at a constant temperature between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius to prevent cell death and physiological alterations. The requirement stems from the failure of a legacy system that has caused the loss of cell lines and wasted government resources. The agency requires an exact replacement of the current dual-sized cell incubator chamber. The new system must include a temperature-controlled backup system and possess the capacity to support an internal 70-pound shaker as well as an internal computer-controlled real-time cell imaging system. Responses for solicitation 75N98026Q01080PERCIVALSCIENTIFICINCORPORATED are due by September 2, 2026, for performance in Bethesda, Maryland.

Full Description
PERCIVAL INCUBATORS
The mission of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) is to conduct and support medical research and research training and to disseminate science-based information on diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases; digestive diseases, nutritional disorders, and obesity; and kidney, urologic, and hematologic diseases, in order to improve people’s health and quality of life.
Dictyostelium cell lines must be maintained at a constant temperature of 20–24 °C. Temperatures above or below this range alter their physiology, with higher temperatures causing cell death. The current system is more than 15 years old and has reliability issues, requiring several repair orders in recent years. Cell lines in this incubator were lost when the system overheated in the middle of the night. This has resulted in many weeks required to re-establish the cell lines and has led to wasted United States Government resources. The system is reaching the end of its life cycle.
An exact replacement of the current dual-sized cell incubator chamber is required, with a temperature-controlled backup system and the capacity to support an internal 70-pound shaker and an internal computer-controlled real-time cell imaging system
