NOTICE OF INTENT � SOLE-SOURCE ACQUISITION Notice No.: 75N98027Q00050 The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), intends to award a Firm-Fixed-Price Purchase Order to Micro Photonics, Inc., 1550 Pond Rd Suite110, Allentown PA 18104 for Tier-1 Comprehensive Extended Warranty.
