Description
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking a single‑source award to procure a 120 kV Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) that includes automated data‑collection software, scanning transmission (STEM) capability, cryo‑EM functionality, and integrated analysis tools for use by the Joint Electron Microscopy Core (JEM‑C). The instrument will serve intramural researchers at three NIH institutes (NEI, NICHD, NINDS) and must support high‑throughput 2‑D imaging, 3‑D tomography, correlative light‑electron microscopy, and single‑particle analysis. The solicitation is a non‑competitive, simplified‑acquisition procurement not to exceed $350,000, with responses due September 3, 2026. Interested vendors must submit a technical and cost proposal via email to the contracting officer.
• Provide a 120 kV TEM with STEM, HAADF detector, and cryo‑box.
• Integrated software for automated 2‑D image collection, tilt‑series tomography, and single‑particle analysis.
• Correlative Light‑EM (CLEM) image registration capability.
• Offline workstation for 2‑D, 3‑D, and CLEM processing.
• Must be delivered, installed, and operational for the shared JEM‑C facility.
