Wireless Fiber Photometry Headstage Supply

The contract calls for the supply of miniaturized wireless photometry headstages designed for in vivo neuroscience research, each equipped with dual LEDs, a photodetector, a 2.5 mm ferrule, and a 40 mAh battery to enable prolonged, untethered neural signal acquisition. These headstages must be fully compatible with Doric systems to ensure seamless integration into existing experimental setups and data collection workflows. The devices must be compact, reliable, and optimized for high-fidelity light delivery and fluorescence detection in freely behaving animal models. The solicitation is issued under the NAICS code 334516 for medical equipment manufacturing by the National Institutes of Health, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, through a subcontract mechanism. Responses are due by July 3, 2026, and the contract will support critical neuroscience research requiring minimally invasive, wireless optical recording tools. There is no specified set-aside designation, and performance location details are not provided, but the technology must meet precise technical specifications to ensure interoperability and experimental reproducibility in high-throughput neurophysiological studies.
