Description

Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is seeking information from
qualified vendors regarding advanced confocal laser scanning and superresolution
optical microscopy systems capable of high-speed, multi-color
fluorescence imaging, including fluorescence lifetime (FLIM) and
superresolution nanoscopy with Stimulated Depletion Emission (STED).


This RFI aims to gather detailed technical, functional, and operational
information about current commercial systems. Responses will assist BNL
in developing future procurement requirements and specifications for a
system supporting biological, chemical, and materials research imaging
applications.

FAQ

How do I use the Market Snapshot?

It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.

Is the data live?

The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.

What do P10 and P90 mean?

P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
