Single-Sole Source Determination
The LCSMS possesses two multiphoton microscopes (Scientifica Hyperscope), purchased from Scientifia LLC in FY2019 under contract number 75N95019P00657. This purchase is sought on a sole-source basis because Scientifica is the maker of the Scientifica Hyperscope and the only company qualified to service it.
Background/Description of Requirement

In FY2019, it purchased two multiphoton microscopy systems from Scientifica LLC. These were built around the Scientifica Hyperscope multiphoton microscope. One also contained equipment (micromanipulators, patch clamp amplifiers, stage and perfusion system) for brain slice electrophysiology. The other was designed to use with a virtual reality system for awake, head-fixed mice. In this purchase requirement, the LCSMS seeks a yearly support package for both systems.
