Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Purchase Order
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order to Apogee Flow Systems.

The Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) requires upgrades to its existing Apogee Flow Systems MicroPLUS Flow Cytometer. The instrument is used to analyze bacterial populations for heterogeneity in behavior, reporter expression, and competitive growth.
The required upgrades include:
• KAIROS Microfluidic Sorter Upgrade - This upgrade is essential for isolating and capturing bacterial subpopulations for downstream analyses, including sequencing and genetic selection studies.
• IOTA Enhancements for Nanoscale Applications - This upgrade is required to enable the analysis of nanometer-sized synthetic bacterial spores (SSHELS) and bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that are being developed as delivery vehicles for anti-tumor therapeutics. The enhancement will also significantly improve the instrument's fluorescence detection sensitivity.
Because these upgrades must be integrated into the LMB's existing Apogee Flow Systems MicroPLUS flow cytometer, they can only be provided by the original equipment manufacturer, Apogee Flow Systems. The manufacturer does not authorize third parties to perform these proprietary instrument upgrades. Accordingly, no other known source is capable of meeting the Government's requirement.
This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. However, any responsible source that believes it can satisfy the Government's requirement may submit a capability statement demonstrating its ability to provide the required products and services. A determination by the Government not to compet...
