STATEMENT OF WORK FOR CHROMOTOGRAPHY INSTRUMENT ROBOTIC SYSTEM

October 31, 2017 Background:

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), a public health regulatory agency of the U.S. Department of Agricultural (USDA), protects consumers by ensuring that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, and accurately labeled. The FSIS Western Laboratory is located at 800 Buchanan Street, Albany CA, 94710. The FSIS, Western Laboratory, is a regulatory laboratory, which analyzes meat, poultry and egg products to ensure they are free of adulteration.

Objectives:

The FSIS Western Laboratory performs regulatory testing of meat, poultry, and egg products for the presence of antimicrobial drugs and antibiotics, residues and pesticides. A new pesticides method that will be quicker, use less solvent and chemicals, and shorten time between purification and sample analysis has been developed by Dr. Steve Lehotay of the Agricultural Research Service (ARS).

Purpose:

The Field Service Laboratories are required to analyze meat, poultry and egg products for the presence of antimicrobial drugs and antibiotics, residues and pesticides. This requires the laboratory to utilize equipment verified for each method; the Gerstel robotic MultiPurpose Sampler liquid handling system is key to the operation of a new, quicker pesticides method developed for FSIS.

SECTION 508 - ACCESSIBILITY OF ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

(a) This SOW is subject to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d) as amended by the workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-220). Specifically, subsection 508(a)(1) requires that when the Federal Government procures Electronic and Information Technology (EIT), the EIT must allow Federal employees and individuals of the public with disabilities comparable access to and use of information and data that is provided to Federal employees and individuals of the public without disabilities.

(b) The EIT accessibility standards at 36 CFR Part 1194 were developed by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board ("Access Board") and apply to contracts and task/delivery orders, awarded under indefinite quantity contracts on or after June 25, 2001.

(c) Each Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) product or service furnished under this contract shall comply with the Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards (36 CFR 1194), as specified in the contract, as a minimum. If the Contracting Officer determines any furnished product or service is not in compliance with the contract, the Contracting Officer will promptly inform the Contractor in writing. The Contractor shall, without charge to the Government, repair or replace the non-compliant products or services within the period of time to be specified by the Government in writing. If such repair or replacement is not completed within the time specified, the Government shall have the following recourses:

1. Cancellation of the contract, delivery or task order, purchase or line item without termination liabilities; or

2. In the case of custom Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) being developed by a contractor for the Government, the Government shall have the right to have any necessary changes made or repairs performed by itself or by another firm for the noncompliant EIT, with the contractor liable for reimbursement to the Government for any expenses incurred thereby.

(d) The contractor must ensure that all EIT products that are less than fully compliant with the accessibility standards are provided pursuant to extensive market research and are the most current compliant products or services available to satisfy the contract requirements.

(e) For every EIT product or service accepted under this contact by the Government that does not comply with 36 CFR 1194, the contractor shall, at the discretion of the Government, make every effort to replace or upgrade it with a compliant equivalent product or service, if commercially available and cost neutral, on either a contract specified refresh cycle for the product or service, or on a contract effective option/renewal date; whichever shall occur first.
