The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to award a sole-source firm-fixed-price purchase order for an Abeyance Cryogenic LN2 Vapor Cryo Freezer and racks. The Pediatric Oncology Branch (POB) of the NCI maintains several liquid nitrogen freezers used for long-term storage of critical clinical and research samples. The required product features include optimized design, touchscreen controller, critical data recording, and independent temperature and liquid nitrogen level monitoring and control. The sole-source acquisition is authorized under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). Some key features of the required product include: • Optimized design for size/capacity/usability • Touchscreen controller automatically maintains freezer conditions • Critical data is recorded (can be pushed to the cloud, emailed or saved to USB drive) • Supports independent temperature and liquid nitrogen level monitoring and control • Increased capacity while maintaining footprint size of current units to optimize restricted space • Cryogenic LED and automatic fog-clear to enhance visibility and sample access • Improved ergonomics allowing for safer/easier access to samples
