Quick Summary
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a non-competitive contract to National Instruments for the acquisition of a PCIe-5764 FlexRIO 16-bit Digitizer. This is a presolicitation notice, and interested parties may submit capability statements. Responses are due June 22, 2026, at 9:00 AM Eastern time.
Scope of Work
The Molecular Imaging Branch (MIB) at the NCI, Center for Cancer Research, requires a 16-bit digitizer with an onboard FPGA to advance its Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) imaging system. This technology is critical for developing a prototype EPR imaging system for human applications, enhancing detection sensitivity, and improving imaging speed and resolution. The new 16-bit digitizer will replace an existing 8-bit system, which is time-inefficient, and is uniquely suited to meet the necessary resolution, sensitivity, and FPGA capabilities for successful human imaging studies.
