AI Contract Overview
The National Institutes of Health is pursuing a sole-source acquisition under FAR Part 13 for a Two-photon Mesoscale Imaging System with Holographic Stimulation Capability, designated by solicitation number 75N98026Q00275, with a response deadline of May 8, 2026. This procurement, authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), is non-competitive and intended to award the contract solely to Pacific Optica as the only responsible source capable of delivering the Diesel2p imaging platform, which enables subcellular-resolution neural imaging over a 25 mm² field of view—dramatically expanding upon current systems limited to 0.25 mm². The system will support neuroscience research by allowing simultaneous observation and real-time optogenetic manipulation of large neural populations in awake, behaving mice, addressing a critical technical gap in brain imaging. The contract value is capped at $350,000 under simplified acquisition procedures, with no line-item details or pricing provided in the presolicitation. Performance and acceptance will occur at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, with delivery and installation required at 6701 Rockledge Drive. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the deadline to Michael Falzone, the sole point of contact and contracting officer, and must include the offeror’s Unique Entity ID, Taxpayer Identification Number, business size certification under NAICS code 334516 (1,000-employee size standard), a technical proposal, a cost proposal, and a statement of capability. SAM.gov registration is mandatory, and no fax submissions are accepted. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, packaging specifications, or inspection criteria beyond general FAR Part 13 compliance are outlined, as the procurement is structured for direct award without competition. The notice of intent to sole source serves as the only formal attachment, and no additional clauses, options, or special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, or organizational conflict provisions are specified. The period of performance will be defined post-award, and no FOB terms are indicated.
