2. All other solicitation Terms and Conditions remain unchanged.

Traci Johannes

Contracting Officer

1. Number of users by role: pathologists (full-time and part-time), histotechnologists/technical users, administrators/IT, and read-only users

• 9 Pathologists

• 10 Technical Users

• Administrator/IT: We do not anticipate requiring a dedicated administrator account. We expect one of the technical users to perform any necessary administrative functions.

2. Instead of defining by user role, we anticipate utilizing a system in a bench-based workflow with the following workstations:

• Accessioning – 1 station

• Grossing – 3 stations

• Embedding – 2 stations

• Sectioning – 7 stations

• Case Assembly – 2 stations

• Pathology Office (combined Accessioning/Case Assembly) – 1 station

• Reporting – 15 users

3. Annual anatomic pathology case volume by case type

Initially, we are looking to support Surgical Pathology, with an annual volume of approximately 16,000 cases. However, we are seeking a modular system that provides the flexibility to expand into additional accession areas in the future.

• Surgical Pathology – 16,000 cases/year

• Cytology – 5,600 cases/year

• Autopsy – 25 cases/year

4. Connected instrument brands and models, including the IHC stainers and any equipment beyond the Leica BOND III and Roche Ventana environment

N/A

5. Interfaces required: current VistA and future Oracle Health/Cerner; whether orders/results are bidirectional; any case-status/specimen-tracking messages; and any other external systems

• Current VistA and future Oracle Health/Cerner interfaces are required.

• Bidirectional interface capability is required. We expect to be able to modify information at individual workstations, with those changes synchronizing with the LIS. We also expect support for case-status updates and specimen-tracking messages.

6. Whether a physician/client portal is required and, if so, the expected number of users

No
