High Density Microelectrode Array (MEA) System

The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) is issuing a Sources‑Sought RFI to determine market availability of a commercial, off‑the‑shelf High‑Density Microelectrode Array (MEA) system and associated components for high‑resolution electrophysiological recordings from 3‑D biological models and excised tissues. The required system must include a MEA with >1,000 electrodes, ≥10 kHz sampling per electrode, simultaneous recording, readout and stimulation, and full hardware‑software integration (software with built‑in spike sorting, perpetual license, Windows 11 workstation with 4 TB SSD, GDDR5 GPU, high‑resolution monitor, and TAA‑compliant if possible). Additional items are five single‑well microchip plates (≥25 mm diameter), integration components, compatible sample holders (various net sizes), a mini‑incubator maintaining 37 °C/5 % CO₂, and extended warranty options. Training must be provided within 30 days of receipt and all deliverables are required within 12 weeks post‑award. Respondents must submit a four‑page white paper (company name, address, CAGE, NAICS, small‑business size and type, eligibility, point of contact, and any teaming partners) to Nicholas VanDevander at Nicholas.a.vandevander.civ@health.mil by 10:00 a.m., 1 April 2026. The Government is interested in all small‑business concerns, including 8(a), Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned, HUBZone, and Women‑Owned firms, but the RFI is for information only and does not constitute a solicitation or obligate payment.
