This is a Technical Specifications document for an Automated Histological H&E Staining System (PR 12427745) to be procured by Martin Army Community Hospital, Fort Benning, GA. The government seeks FDA-approved analyzers operating on 100-240V with FDA-approved software and reagents capable of processing at least 300 slides per hour. The analyzer must feature automated programming for start, testing, and shutdown; continuous and batch loading capabilities; automated staining and drying protocols; barcode reader functionality; disk drive with read/write capability; USB ports; and compatibility with Windows 10 or higher operating systems. Critical system integration requirements include interfaces with MHS Genesis laboratory information system (Cerner), Pathnet, and CoPath Plus anatomical pathology laboratory information system, as well as specimen tracking systems.
The vendor must provide complete installation support including tubing and connections for water and waste systems, on-site technical support, all reagents and supplies required for validation, scheduled and unscheduled equipment repairs, preventive maintenance, and 24-hour telephonic troubleshooting. Service response requirements include four-hour response times during business hours and morning-of-next-business-day response for after-hours calls, with deficiency correction within 24 hours of arrival. The vendor must provide temporary analyzer replacement for extended downtime and alternate testing during failures. Additional requirements include initial training for two personnel at the vendor's facility plus on-site training as needed, proper temperature-controlled shipping arriving Monday-Friday between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM EST, reagents with minimum six-month expiration dates from delivery, and no-cost software and parts upgrades.
