Notice of Intent: Leica CM3050 S Cryostat

Description: The National Institutes of Health, specifically the National Eye Institute, intends to issue a firm-fixed-price purchase order to Leica Microsystems Inc. for a Leica CM3050 S Cryostat system. This is a sole-source procurement notice rather than a competitive request for quotes, although small businesses may submit written capability statements demonstrating their ability to meet the requirement. The notice is open as of 2026-07-31, with responses due on August 3, 2026, and it concerns specialized frozen-section research equipment rather than a grant program.
