Pre Solicitation Notice Of Intent Non Competitive Introduction Pursuant To Far Subpart 5 2 Synopses Of Proposed Contract Actions This Is A Pre Solicitation Notice Of A Proposed Contract To Action This Is A Pre Solicitation Non Competitive Notice Of Intent To Award A Contract Or Purchase Order Without Providing For Full Or Open Competition Including Brand Name National Institutes Of Health Ncats Requires An Upgrade To A Current Robotic Screening Platform To Increase The Capabilities Of Their Robotics To Allow For Labcyte Now Beckman Acoustic Dispensing Automated Mass Spec Screening And Calcium Channel Screening North American Industry Classification System Naics Code The Intended Procurement Is Classified Under Naics Code 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing With A Size Standard Of 1000 Employees Regulatory Authority The Resultant Contract Will Include All Applicable Provisions And Clauses Of The Federal Acquisition Requlation Far In Effect Through The Federal Acquisition Circular 2020 07 Dated 2 Jul 2020 Statutory Authority This Acquisition Is Conducted Under The Authority Of The Federal Acquisition Regulation Far Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures Subpart 13 106 1 B 1 Soliciting From A Single Source Description Of Requirement Project There Are Heavily Used Robotic Screening Systems Systems At Ncats The Kalypsys Primary Screening System And The Tox21 Robot Both Of These Systems Are Comprised Of Robotic Arms And All Of The Necessary Platform Equipment Such As External Guarding Robotic Bases Electrical Junction Boxes And Cabinets And A Variety Of Other Components Associated With The Core Components Of The System Are The Peripheral Devices Ranging From Liquid Handlers Pin Tools Plate Incubators And Compound Storage Carousels All Of These Associated Peripherals Coupled With The Robotic Work Cells Are What Comprise An Automated Screening System Various Programs And Labs Within Ncats Have Been Given The Directive To Perform Different Types Of High Throughput Screens To Evaluate Some Biological Activity And To Potentially Develop New Therapeutics Or Therapeutic Combinations In Some Cases Or In Others To Determine The Relative Toxicity Of Chemical Compounds Under Test To Do This A Biological Experiment Is Performed In The Presence Of Hundreds Of Thousands Of Chemical Compounds At Various Concentrations Requiring That Millions Of Samples Be Tested For Each Experiment This Requires That These Experiments Be Run In A High Density Well Plate To Both Minimize The Total Reagent Volume Used Per Experiment And To Facilitate Less Total Plates To Be Used To Perform An Entire Assay Typically One Experiment Might Consist Of Screening 500 000 Compounds At 5 Different Total Concentrations For A Total Of 2 5M Samples If This Experiment Is Run Using A 1536 Well Plate Meaning 1536 Samples Can Be Tested At A Time This Requires Nearly 1650 Plates The Only Way To Accomplish Handling This Many Well Plates For An Experiment Is High Throughput Screening Hts Which Requires A High Degree Of Robotic Automation Requirements The Goal Of This Project Is To Add A Scara Robot To The Existing Hts System With The Following Ncats Existing Equipment Flipr Penta Bruker Rapiflex Maldi Analytikjena Cybio Maldi Tof Ms Automated Sample Preparation Liquid Handler Bridge Programs Will Be Written For The Following Equipment Precise Robotics Scara Robot Flipr Penta Bruker Rapiflex Maldi Analytikjena Cybio Maldi Tof Ms Automated Sample Preparation Liquid Handler Echo 6Xx Acoustic Dispenser The Following Equipment Will Be Added To Cell 1 2 Labcyte Echo Acoustic Dispensers Ats 100 The Following Equipment Will Be Removed From The System Library 2 Pintool 1 Incell The Following Instrument Will Be Reconfigured Pintool 2 Mechanical Scara Robot Use Existing Precise P400 Robot From Labcyte System Send Robot To Distributor Replace Labcyte Gripper With Standard Gripper Add 2 0M Rail Frame Structure Screening System Remove Library 2 Aspect Pintool Use Riggers Move To Storage Reprogram Director Robot Program For Change Of Library Numbers Modify Guarding Add Guarding With Doors Around Library 2 Location Echos Add Loaders 2 Similar To Frd Loader Use Existing Echo Carts Misc Use Existing Ats100 Carts Add Delidders 3 Additional And Hand Off Nests To Scara Cell Pintool Modify Pintool For Aspect Designed Nests The Gnf Nests Connect To The System Using A 25 Pin Connector All Sensors And Air Valves Are Inside The Nest The Vacuum Valve Is External The Aspect Nests Have Allsensor Amplifiers And Valves In The Air Purged Cabinet Purchase New Sensor Amplifiers And Valves And Mount Them Either In Or Near The Aspect Nests Cabinet Wiring Will Need To Be Done Try Not To Have To Modify The Software In The Pintool If At All Possible Replace Both Nests We Will Have To Raise The Control Plate Nest As It Has To Sit Higher Than The Compound Plate Nest Ncats Will Send Vendor One Or Both Nests From The Dart Pintool For Modification Structure Scara System Design And Build A Frame For The Precise Robot Delidding Stations As Required And 4 Room Temperature Hotels All Of The Peripherals Are Free Standing Software Director Software Configure System As 4 Cell System Upgrade External Interface With Rabbitmq Or Activex Robot Bridge Modifications Testing After Firmware Upgrade Beckhoff Integration Into

Bridge Hardware Design Echo Loader Integration Amp Testing Period Of Performance 10 14 Weeks Aro And Two Years Technical Support And Software Upgrades Sole Source Justification Over The Past 10 Years Ncats Has Made A Substantial Investment In Hts Systems Spending Over 20M In Automated Equipment To Run Experiments The Two Most Active Systems At The Center Are The Kalypsys Primary Screening System That Was Put Into Service In 2005 And The Tox21 Robotic Screening System That Was Put Into Service In 2011 As These Systems Increase In Age It Becomes Increasingly Imperative That They Can Be Maintained And Supported Also It Is Important That We Incorporate State Of The Art Instrumentation To Further Increase The Capabilities Of The Platform This Acquisition Is To Integrate Several Pieces Of State Of The Art Instrumentation Onto Our Existing Screening Platform To Enhance The Overall Capability Of The System And To Introduce New Detection Types And Workflows To Perform Novel Screens There Are No Other Vendors That Can Provide The Specific Server And Software Configuration Needed To Upgrade These Screening Systems We Are Using The Proprietary Scheduling Software Made By Fujifilm Wako Automation And They Have Specific Hardware And Software Configuration Settings To Ensure Continuous And Smooth Operation Closing Statement This Synopsis Is Not A Request For Competitive Proposals However Interested Parties May Identify Their Interest And Capability To Respond To This Notice The Respondents Must Submit Clear And Convincing Evidence That Their Product Is Equivalent Or Superior
