SMALL BUSINESSSOURCES SOUGHT NOTICESolicitation Number: 75N98026Q01003Title: PROsix high refresh rate 6–Primary Hyperspectral LED projector or EqualClassification Code: 6650 Optical InstrumentsNAICS Code: 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument ManufacturingSize Standard: 1,000 EmployeesDescription:This is a Small Business Sources Sought notice. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations.The purpose of this notice is to obtain information regarding: (1) the availability and capability of qualified small business sources; (2) whether they are small businesses; HUBZone small businesses; service–disabled, veteran–owned small businesses; 8(a) small businesses; veteran–owned small businesses; woman–owned small businesses; or small disadvantaged businesses; (3) their size classification relative to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the proposed acquisition; and (4) availability of domestic sources manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities and of a satisfactory quality.For equipment/supply requirements, responses must include the place of manufacturing (i.e. address if supply/equipment is a domestic end product and include country of manufacture). For equipment/supply requirements, small businesses must also address the size status of the manufacturer under the applicable NAICS code (i.e. address Non–Manufacturer Rule).Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set–aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice.This notice is issued to help determine the availability of qualified companies technically capable of meeting the Government requirement and to determine the method of acquisition. It is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Responses will not be considered as proposals or quotes. No award will be made as a result of this notice. The Government will NOT be responsible for any costs incurred by the respondents to this notice. This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only.Background: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation`s leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge. The mission of the NIH also includes enhancing health, lengthening life, reducing illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improves and saves people`s health and lives.Purpose and Objectives: The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) needs to procure a stimulus presentation system for presenting visual stimuli at a high screen refresh rate (>200Hz) with precise calibration for both luminance and color, with a wide field of view, and the capability of unusual color primaries in the violet, cyan, or yellow regions. Finally, we require a projector with 4–16 primaries, instead of the standard 3–primary systems. This instrument will be used with in the behavioral laborator in the OP4 clinic (rm 315) for use by all investigators in the Laboratory of Brain & Cognition and their collaborators (>40 researchers) in behavioral and psychophysical experimental setups.. To continue to support cutting–edge research, it is essential to acquire scientific equipment that will enhance its capabilities as required by specific projects. As such, the current purchase involves acquisition of a device that can rapidly present precisely controlled visual stimuli beyond the range of what may be presented with current equipment to help to understand brain function during cognitive tasks.Project Requirements:DATAPixx3 data acquisition system with DisplayPort outputPROsix high refresh rate 6–Primary Hyperspectral LED projectorShort–throw lens, throw ratio of 1.56 –1.86 : 1, focus range 4.0 – 23 ftRear projection screen table mount 25.5`` X 14.5``
