The National Institutes of Health, through its Office of Logistics and Operations, is conducting a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase under simplified acquisition procedures to acquire specialized equipment for constructing a portable multiphoton microscope system designed to detect biosensors in living animals. The procurement, identified by solicitation number 75N98026Q00551, is restricted to small businesses under a total small business set-aside as defined by FAR 19.5, with the NAICS code 423690 applying a $34 million annual receipts size standard. The required equipment includes a Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) module SPC-130NIXX, a hybrid photon detector HPM-100-40 with its DCC-100 control module, a picosecond laser BDS-SM-980-FBE bundled with a single-mode fiber optic, a beamsplitter unit and associated accessories, and a GVD-120PCIE module for laser scanning—all manufactured by Becker and Hickl GmbH in Germany and distributed exclusively in the United States by Boston Electronics. Delivery is mandated to 5625 Fishers Lane in Brookline, Massachusetts, where the system will be received and installed by Staff Scientist Tuan Nguyen at LBQB. The acquisition, valued at no more than $350,000, was issued under FAR Part 13 with no competitive bidding due to the exclusive distribution rights held by Boston Electronics. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email to the contracting officer’s point of contact by June 18, 2026, and must include a UEI, certified small business status, and a technical and cost-price proposal. No formal evaluation factors, weights, or inspection criteria beyond confirming compliance with manufacturer specifications are provided, and no packaging, marking, or FOB terms are specified. The contract will be awarded based solely on responsiveness and responsibility, consistent with non-competitive simplified acquisition guidelines.
