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.

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

CSS - Spectra-Physics InSight X3 Dual Laser System
Solicitation # 75N98027Q00072
The National Institutes of Health, on behalf of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, is soliciting a firm-fixed-price purchase order for one Brand Name Spectra-Physics InSight X3 Dual Ultrafast Laser System. This equipment will be integrated with an existing Thorlabs Veneto inverted multiphoton microscope to support Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy and Stimulated Raman Scattering pump-probe experiments. The requirement includes a rack-mounted power supply, a closed-loop chiller, and essential services such as on-site factory installation, optical alignment, and operator training. Technical specifications require pulses of 100 fs or less, automated wavelength tuning from 680 nm to 1300 nm, and a second synchronized output at 1045 nm, all supported by a 12-month OEM factory warranty. This is a brand-name restricted solicitation under NAICS code 334516, and the requirement is unrestricted. To be considered technically acceptable, offerors other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer must provide an official Letter of Authorization verifying their status as an authorized distributor and confirming that the OEM will honor the installation, training, and warranty. Award will be based on best value, where technical capability, delivery schedule, and past performance are weighted as significantly more important than price. Proposals must be submitted by November 20, 2026, and must include a detailed price breakout, delivery timeframe, and a business size certification.
