Description:

This is a Notice of Intent (NOI). This notice is published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.101(a)(1) requiring the dissemination of information regarding proposed contract actions. This is a Notice of Intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b) and 13.501(a)- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Service Will Satisfy Agency Requirements and is not a request for quotes. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Min Software which has been acquired by GE HealthCare. This requirement is Brand Name Only. NIAID has a need to purchase one (1) year of MIN Software Upgrades and Support Services for the items listed in the attached Bill of Materials (BOM).

Acquisition purpose and objectives:

This section describes the need in two labs at NIAID:

1. This software is used in image analysis software that is routinely used by the IRF-Frederick imaging team to analyze medical images. This is a brand name request for the renewal and upgrade of MIM Software of various configurations based on item code # SAM-MSMU-YL01 (See BOM). A major focus of the NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF) is advanced quantitative imaging tools to further the 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.


2. This software is used for several ongoing projects described in animal protocols LCIM-3E LCIM-9E and LPD-25E where monkeys and rabbits are used to understand how tuberculosis responds to drug or immunological treatments. This data informs human tuberculosis treatment and have been ongoing since 2009. The items will be 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. The IRF is requesting renewal of MIM server and software support. While the IRF holds licenses for this software there is a need for continuous support and upgrades which would be covered by this procurement.

Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm-fixed price type of contract.

Period of Performance(s) are as follows:

Date of Award (Estimated 4/1/2026) to December 31, 2026*
