STATEMENT OF WORK

1. Purpose

The U.S Naval Medical Research Unit EURAFCENT (NAMRU- EAC) has a requirement for Six (6) Portable, benchtop freezers.

U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) -EURAFCENT is an infectious diseases research institute of the United States Navy with headquarters at Naval Air Station Sigonella and a detachment in Cairo, Egypt. NAMRU-EAC conducts scientific research and public health initiatives throughout the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central and Southeast Asia, North and West Africa.

Part of NAMRU-EAC achieving its mission is to conduct robust, forward-deployed bio surveillance to protect the health of U.S.

forces across Europe, Africa, and Central Command. The command's effectiveness hinges on its ability to rapidly detect, monitor, and characterize infectious disease threats. Portable freezers are a critical component in facilitating this research and maintaining operational effectiveness. The integrity of biological samples is directly dependent on maintaining a consistent and ultra-low temperature cold chain from the point of collection to the laboratory. By ensuring that specimens are kept at the required temperatures, often as low as -80C, these freezers prevent the degradation of genetic material and proteins, which is crucial for accurate diagnostic testing, genomic sequencing, and overall infectious disease surveillance. This capability allows for the effective transport of critical samples from remote or austere environments to diagnostic facilities, thereby enabling timely and accurate characterization of disease threats.

2. Scope

The Contractor shall provide, ship, and deliver six (6) new portable, benchtop Ultra-Low Temperature (ULT) freezers. The contractor must provide all necessary power cables, documentation, and warranty support as detailed in the technical specifications below.

3. Technical Requirements & Salient Characteristics

The contractor shall ensure that the delivered freezers meet or exceed the following minimum technical performance requirements:

3.1 Physical Dimensions & Portability

- Capacity: Minimum internal storage volume of 0.9 cubic feet (25 Liters).

- Dimensions: The external dimensions of the unit must conform to the following target dimensions and allowable variances:

Height: Target of 29 inches with an allowable variance of +/- 3 inches Width: Target of 15 inches with an allowable variance of +/- 2 inches Depth: Target of 19 inches with an allowable variance of +/- 2 inches

- Weight: The empty unit must weigh less than 50lbs to allow for safe, single person carry during rapid loading and unloading.

3.2 Temperature Performance & Cold Chain Tracking

- Operating Range: Must maintain a stable temperature range between -20 C and -80C in ambient field conditions.

- Pull-Down Speed: Must be capable of cooling from a warm ambient temperature (+25C) down to the target -80C in 14 hours or less when running on standard power.

- FDA Compliance: The electronic temperature logging system must align with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 guidelines for electronic records, ensuring the cold chain logs are secure, unalterable, and admissible for official federal bio-surveillance records.

3.3 Power & Energy Efficiency

- Dual Power Inputs: Must be capable of operating on standard AC wall power and DC vehicle power. Both AB and DC power cords must be included in each unit.

- AC Compatibility: Must operate in standard AC voltage from 100V to 240 V at 50/60 Hz.

- DC Compatibility: Must operate on standard 12V vehicle DC power, the maximum power draw must not exceed 15Amps /150 Watts.

- Battery Backup: Must include an integrated battery backup system capable of operating for at least 24 hours to maintain track of temperature and continuous data logging if primary power is lost.

- Federal Efficiency Standards: The unit must prioritize energy efficiency to remain operational on low- wattage field source. It must draw minimal power (e.g., less than 3.0 kWh/day) and comply with NIH Manual Chapter 26101-16 (Management of ULT Freezers) and EPA Energy Star Version 2.0 standards for laboratory-grade freezers.

3.4 Ruggedization & Tactical Mobility

- Durability: The unit must feature a ruggedized construction specifically designed to survive the continuous shock and vibration of off-road tactical transport in military vehicles without mechanical or compressor failure.

4. Quality Control & Support

Evaluation - Commercial Products and Commercial Services

Addendum to Evaluation - Commercial Product and Commercial Services The evaluation procedures will be in accordance with FAR 12.203. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation is the most advantageous to the Government, price and non-price factors considered, in compliance with the specifications attached to this solicitation.

A quote that meets and exceeds the Government's minimum needs may represent the best value than a quote that just meets the Government's minimum needs. The Government may consider awarding to the best value quote for a higher price. The Government may also award to the lowest priced quote if all quotes are equal in non-priced factors, where there are no added non-priced advantageous from one quote to the other. The Government will make comparative evaluations, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each quote in making the award decision.

As such, quoters are encouraged to submit quotes that meet and exceed the Government's minimum need to be considered for award and represent the most advantageous quoter.

Moreover, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of quotes submitted and availability of funds. The Government reserves the right to only evaluate non-price factors of the quoters most likely to receive an award based on price.

Factor 1 - Technical Capability

Technical Capability will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. Only quotes receiving an acceptable rating on Technical Evaluation will be considered eligible for award.

The quote will be evaluated to determine if the quoter has provided all the required documents listed in the Addendum to 52.212-1 Vol I - Technical Capability, and if Quoter's submission meets the minimum requirement of the Statement of Work.

Table A-1. Technical Ratings

Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Factor 2 - Price

Quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.203.

The quoted prices will be analyzed for completeness and Reasonableness, as follow:

A. Completeness: All price information/date required in the RFQ was submitted. In the event the unit prices(s) and extended price(s) are ambiguous, the government shall use the indicated unit price(s) for evaluation purposes. All CLINs as stated in the solicitation shall be priced. The total firm fixed-price shall include all applicable taxes, shipping and handling costs to the shipping address listed at the top of this document.

B. Reasonableness: Price is fully justified and supported and is considered fair and reasonable under current market conditions.

C. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
