About this file
These are Technical Specifications for an Automated Histological H&E Staining System for Martin Army Community Hospital's pathology laboratory. The specifications require an FDA-approved analyzer with medium to high capacity (180+ slides/hour), capable of continuous/batch loading, online and offline drying, and barcode tracking. Key requirements include Windows 10 compatibility, interfaces with Cerner LIS and CoPath Plus, specimen tracking system integration, and compatibility with a water purification system. The system must apply reagents directly to individual slides, perform automated cover slipping, include online venting, and operate without hazardous xylene.
The vendor must provide comprehensive support including on-site technical assistance, installation, validation, training, 24-hour telephonic troubleshooting, and equipment repairs. Reagent requirements include FDA approval, 6-month minimum expiration dates, ready-to-use formulations, and proper temperature-controlled shipping. Additional technical requirements include obtaining DOD Risk Management Framework IT cybersecurity certification within 283 days of award, performing Hematoxylin and Eosin staining, and completing correlation/validation within 120 days of award. The system must fit within 62W x 35D x 80H space constraints and use a combination of wet and dry materials.
