STATEMENT OF WORK

LABELS FOR INCOMING URINALYSIS SPECIMENS

GENERAL REQUIRIEMENTS: Labels are used to track and identify individual urine samples throughout the complete urinalysis testing process.

SCOPE: LABEL SPECIFICATIONS -Transcode S-475 Polyolefin material, s/S-475 permanent acrylic adhesive or equal, special die configuration, 4 label set.

1.5" X 1.5" label (consisting of 4 smaller labels). Smaller label # 1will be .292" x 1.5". Smaller label #2 will be .292" x 1.5".

Smaller label #3 will be .292" x 1.5".

Smaller label #4 will be .625" x 1.5".

Barcode symbology Code 128, 11 character number, incrementing number sets each label unique with no missing numbers, finished an-0 separated FAN FOLDED of 150 sets each. Printed barcode characters and label itself are oriented "ladder style" (vertically instead of “picket fence" horizontally).

The labels shall consist of 2.3 mil white polyolefin or polyester thermal transfer and conforms to the additional specification below. The release liner substrate shall be perforated to allow each label to be removed individually.

The die cuts shall be precise and consistent throughout each set of labels, and the labels shall be 100% usable with no duplicates and no missing numbers. The manufacturer's label process shall not produce any kinking or creasing of labels. The gap between labels shall be 1/8 inch. Storage stability of the labels shall be 12 to 18 months at 70 - 80 degrees F and 75% relative humidity after receipt of the labels.

The labels, including release liner will be applied around the circumference of specimen bottles and applied along the horizontal and vertical axis of tubes and vials. The individual labels shall be easily pealed back and removed from the centerline of the release liner. The labels shall not show any evidence of lifting or flagging at the edges after 3 days of expos11re at room temperature, exposure to 20 minutes in an autoclave at 250 degrees F and 15 psi (total time of 40 in the: autoclave), or after repeated removal and reapplication on test tubes and aluminum cups during chemical extraction procedures.

The release liner and in particular the label adhesive shall be flexible enough to allow label position adjustments for a minimum of 3 hours followed by permanent adhesion within 24 hours on paper, metal, plastic, and glass surfaces. The label shall be quickly removable and transferable between glass tubes and metal recovery cups during the extraction process without leaving adhesive residue on the glass or aluminum and without smudging the barcode to the point of non-readability.

The labels may be exposed to chemicals such as methanol, ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, isooctane, iodopropane, isopropanol, 1-chlorobutane, dimethyl sulfoxide, trimethylamine, iodomethane, tetra methyl ammonium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid. Labels should not fall off, or shrink under such exposure, and the print should not smear to the point of non-readability. This requirement also applies to exposure in a laboratory autoclave.

Contractor shall use a black thermal transfer ribbon. The ribbon resin shall provide a stable, dense, abrasion resistant, erasure resistant barcode with excellent edge definition, and the print should not smear to the point of non- readability. There will be no missing or duplicate numbers. The resulting barcodes shall have a print contrast and light area reflectance of 98% or better and 0% reflectance of dark areas. Number scheme will be an identification of San Diego Lab (S), last two digits of calendar year, month indicator, and batch and specimen identifiers. Labels will be packaged in accessioning identification of batch and specimen.

Both the label print a:nd adhesive shall last for a minimum of 5 years at room temperature on paper documents, and a minimum of 2 years on specimen bottles in freezer storage.

SCOPE: LABEL SPECIFICATIONS (continued)

The large part and 2 of the small parts of each label will display a barcode and human readable characters. The barcode will duplicate the human readable characters with the exception of the dashes (-) which will be omitted in the barcode. The remaining small part of each label will be human readable only and will be the same information as the other 3 parts of that label.

Actual barcode and human readable configuration will be as follows: Human Readable Position 1: "S" for San Diego Position 2 & 3: Last two digits of calendar year Position 4: Letter designation for the month: "A"= January, "B"= February, "C";= March, "D"= April, "E"= May, "F"= June, "G"= July, "H"= August, "J"= September, "K"= October, "M"= November, "N"= December.

Position 5: "O" (Zero) Position 6: "-" (Dash) Positions 7, 8, & 9: Batch Number. Starting at 001 and running through and including 530 for each month.

Position 10: "-" (Dash) Position 11, 12, & 13: Specimen Number. Starting at 001 and running through and including 150 for each batch number (Positions 7 through 9).

Barcode:

Position 5: "O" (Zero) Positions 6, 7, & 8: Batch Number. Starting at 001 and running through and including 600 for each month.

Position 9, 10, & 11: Specimen Number. Starting at 001 and running through and including 150 for each batch number (Positions 6 through 8).

SHIP TO LOCATION: Navy Drug Screening Laboratory, 34425 Farenholt Avenue, Building 26-2B, Suite 40, San Diego, CA 92134.

SHIPPING/HANDLING EXPENSES: Contractor shall be responsible for all shipping cost and expenses.

SHIPMENT: Each month the contractor will ensure that the labels will be shipped so they arrive at above address 5 business days or sooner before the end of the month.
