5. Delivery and installation of equipment at no additional charge as well as return shipping costs at end of contract (removal).

6. Contractor to perform equipment and assay installation including full validation of system hardware and software as well as assay performance studies as applicable (assay correlations to existing instrumentation, carryover, linearity, dilution validation, precision, accuracy, reference range studies, and normal range studies).

a. Accuracy studies for each analyte. A minimum of 30 samples, spanning the reportable range, will be run by the present and the new contracted method. Contractors will analyze numbers and provide statistical data to accept the new method. Statistics will consist of at least mean, bias, slope, y-intercept, correlation coefficient, analysis, and meet current standards defined by CLSI.

b. Linearity analysis will be performed on new contracted instrument(s) for each analyte to determine reportable range. A 5-point linearity analysis that adheres to the Beer Lambert Law should be performed as a minimum.

c. Precision study utilizing normal and abnormal control material will be performed. This should consist of a within run precision study of 10 normal and 10 abnormal controls and a day-to-day precision study of normal controls and abnormal controls for 10 days (may be run twice a day) for a total of 20 values per level of control.

d. Calibration verification will be performed using samples of known value. These can be calibrators or CAP assayed survey samples, or equivalent.

e. Sensitivity: Sensitivity may be validated concurrently with the linearity verifications.

f. Reference Range: Determine a reference range for each analyte following CLSI guidelines. Samples used for the reference range study shall be representative of the patient population being tested. Reference range assessment shall be performed for each lab. One of the following protocols should be used:

1) A verification of the manufacturer's suggested reference range may be performed as long as the suggested range is based on a comparable population of test subjects. The manufacturer shall provide specific information defining how the suggested range was determined. A minimum of 20 reference individuals shall be used to verify the manufacturer's range. Any apparent outliers should be discarded and new specimens obtained to provide a statistically valid verification.

2) If the suggested manufacturer's range is not appropriate for the patient population, a reference range shall be established. Establishing a reference shall follow CLSI guidelines. This requires a minimum of 120 reference individuals be used to establish a reference range. The reference interval should be determined using the nonparametric method.

3) If a laboratory is currently using the proposed instrument/reagent system, the "in-use" reference range can be transferred to the "new" system if a method comparison study between the two systems proves to be acceptable. If comparison studies are not acceptable, then an alternate test shall be provided.

g. Therapeutic range validation studies shall be performed by Contractor for applicable analytes, using CLSI guidelines.

h. Carryover studies shall be performed, as applicable, as part of the initial evaluation of the instrument. Contractor will provide interpretation of raw data for each instrument installed and validate no carryover exists within the test platforms.

A high incidence of such problems with any equipment/analyzer or assay within the test menu supplied may indicate probable non-compliance with the terms of this contract and will entitle the government to its replacement with other analyzer(s) that can produce the required criteria of this contract satisfactorily.

a. “Downtime” is defined as any time the equipment is not available for patient testing due to malfunction, unacceptable quality control, software system errors, or hardware failures. This includes time used for end-user troubleshooting, conversations with technical support or on-site engineer repair/support. Downtime for each incident shall start from the time the government makes a bona fine attempt to contact the contractor's designated representative at the prearranged contact point until the system or machine(s) is returned to the government in proper operating condition.

b. Standard acceptable performance for the life of the contract is defined as a period of 30 consecutive calendar days by operating in conformation with the contractor's technical specification without prolonged downtime (>4 hours) per instance more than 3 times within 30 days or more than 10 instances of downtime (of any length of time) within 30 days. In the event the equipment or an assay does not meet the standard acceptable performance for 30 consecutive days, the government will notify the contractor of the ongoing unacceptable performance, and the performance will be monitored for an addition 90 consecutive days. If after 120 calendar days from the initial date of unacceptability, the vendor does not resolve the performance concerns to meet the governments expectations, the government, through the contracting officer, may request a replacement of the equipment / assay or terminate the order upon mutual agreement.

c. Removal of the existing instrument by the Contractor shall be performed within 30 days following the acceptance of replacement equipment without additional charge to the government.
