Annual Renewal and Update of MIN Software

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is seeking to renew and update MIN Software for a period of one year. The software is used for image analysis in medical imaging and is a critical tool for the NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF). The IRF is requesting renewal of MIM server and software support, which includes continuous upgrades and support. The procurement is for a firm-fixed price type of contract, and only one award will be made. • The software is used for advanced quantitative imaging tools to further research in pre-clinical in-vivo imaging studies of infectious diseases. • The IRF contains a unique imaging suite embedded in a BioSafety Level 4 (BSL4) biohazard containment laboratory. • MIM software is the primary image viewing and processing software used by the IRF imaging scientists. • The software is also used for analyzing images collected from MTB-infected and treated animals to measure their treatment responses and determine the quality and quantity of the tuberculosis lesions.
