Market research was conducted, and the results of market research show that similar service maintenance vendors (Beckman Coulter, BD Biosciences) are not fully compatible to maintain the Miltenyi Biotec Blaze UM Light Sheet Microscope System.
Background/Description of Requirement

The Flow and Imaging Core’s Miltenyi Biotec Blaze UM light sheet microscope system is the fully automated light sheet microscope system for imaging large or multiple cleared samples. The microscope system must be operational when needed to support the time phased/time
sensitive aspects of ongoing experiments and research. The failure of the system being operational could result in the loss of extensive research efforts, and the current and future needs of NINDS investigators.

All offerors must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov.
