STATEMENT OF WORK

GENERAL INFORMATION

Title of Project:

Service/maintenance agreement for the Biosero Mobile Robot & Green Button Go Software for the Automation Group at NCATS.

Statement of Need and Purpose:

The purpose of this acquisition is to procure a service/maintenance agreement for the Biosero Mobile Robot & Green Button Go Software for the Automation group at NCATS. This agreement shall cover mechanical and electrical failures experienced under normal installation and operating conditions for the agreement period of performance.

Background Information and Objective:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the nation’s leading medical research agency and the primary Federal agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability, conducting, supporting and making medical discoveries that improve people’s health and save lives.

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which mission it is to catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions.

ASPIRE program is a key initiative at NCATS which focuses on delivering turnkey solutions for chemistry automation. This includes development of state-of-the-art labs and equipment which allow automation. One key piece of this development is the implementation of a mobile robot platform which can perform tasks in a chemistry lab which were performed by chemists. One example of such a task is performing batch evaporation of 20 ml vials using the Biotage V10 evaporator. Previously the chemist needed to manually perform evaporation of said vials one by one which was inefficient. The mobile robot designed and manufactured by Biosero has a robotic arm, vial rack holders and a barcode scanning system onboard. This allows the robot to perform actions like gripping the vial, placing it on the V10 evaporator, picking it up after evaporation is complete and putting them back in the vial rack and repeat the process for multiple vials. This process is enabled by the use of Biosero’s proprietary software Green Button Go which allows a user to create protocols and interface with the Biotage V10, making it capable of performing batch evaporations without human intervention. There are other similar tasks that the robot is capable of handling.

The requested service contract will ensure that an annual hardware maintenance check is performed on the various components of the Biosero Mobile Robot along with a software upgrade for the Green Button Go control software. This maintenance check and software upgrade will allow NCATS’ staff to work on the Biosero Mobile Robot and develop various protocols and tasks within the ASPIRE project without any interruptions.

Period of Performance:

The period of performance will begin upon acceptance of PO by vendor.
