On behalf of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the Office of Acquisitions Contracts Management Branch Red, NINDS Section of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), intends to solicit on a sole-source basis by a request for quotation to Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC. The purpose of this acquisition is to purchase a compound fluorescence microscope. The microscope is used to study development and degeneration of the nervous system, using the fruit fly, Drosophila, as a model organism. The fruit fly nervous system is extremely small and must be analyzed in cellular and subcellular detail. Fluorescence microscopy is a basic technique used every day for every project in the lab, and a high-quality microscope is essential. See attachment for full details.
