B.1 About PSA The Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia (PSA) is a federal independent entity within the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA). PSA has served the Nation's Capital for more than 45 years. The Agency assists judicial officers in both the Superior Court for the District of Columbia and the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in formulating release recommendations and providing supervision and services to defendants awaiting trial that reasonably assure that those on conditional release return to court and do not engage in criminal activity. PSA has been a leader in the D.C. criminal justice system and has been recognized nationally for its pretrial drug testing and innovative supervision and treatment programs.

In support of its mission, PSA has a requirement for the supplies or services identified within this Section and as may further be described in Section C. Unless otherwise specifically stated elsewhere in this document, the contractor is to provide all supplies, equipment, tools, transportation, labor, supervision, and other items as may be necessary to provide the supplies or services identified

Section C - Description/Specifications/Work Statement

Statement of Work

STATEMENT OF WORK - Randox Biochip Reagents

1. Introduction/ Background

1.1 The Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia is an independent federal agency under the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency. Pretrial Services Agency's Office of Forensic Toxicology Services (OFTS) performs urine drug testing for all defendants, adult and juvenile, in pretrial status, Drug Court, offenders on Probation or Parole, parents charged with abuse or neglect, and other tests as ordered by the courts. The OFTS collects over 360,000 specimens per year and performs an average of 6 tests per specimen. Approximately 3.4 million tests are performed annually. The estimated monthly drug testing volume for Oral Fluid and urines for synthetic drug is approximately is 700 samples per month. Testing will be performed on instrumentation provided by the government. This document provides information necessary to assist in the procurement of a new reagent contract for the OFTS drug testing operation.

1.2 The best method for detecting synthetic cannabinoids is liquid chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). However, instrumentation cost can be as high as 500,000 dollars and requires highly skilled scientist. Recently, however, Randox introduced an ELISA test that uses polyclonal antibodies targeted toward different chemical moieties of the aminoalkylindole cannabinoids. Reported sensitivities for the assays are acceptable, and preliminary data from the manufacturer shows good cross reactivity with metabolites of several synthetic cannabinoids including emerging synthetic cannabinoids such as UR-144 and XLR-11.

1.3 Designing assays that detect synthetic cannabinoids is a rapidly moving target for laboratories. To avoid detection, illicit drug makers constantly change the structure of the synthetic cannabinoids used in the herbal incense market. In addition, because commercially available THC immunoassays do not cross-react with synthetic cannabinoids, laboratories usually develop their own mass spectrometry-based assays.

1.4 The core technology is the Randox biochip onto which multiple competitive immunoassays are carried out, giving results for multiple drug assays simultaneously. Competitive immunoassays are employed for the Drugs of Abuse arrays where drug in the specimen and drug labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) directly compete for anti-boding binding sites. The biochip detection system is based on a chemiluminescent signal. This is essentially the emission of light, without heat, as a result of a chemical reaction.

1.5 An enzyme is used to catalyze the chemical reaction on the biochip and generate the chemiluminescent signal.

Increased levels of drugs in a specimen lead to reduced binding of drug-labeled HRP and thus a reduction in chemiluminescent signal. The light emitted from the chemiluminescent reaction that takes place is detected and compared to that from a calibration curve using a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) Camera. This CCD Camera simultaneously records the light emission from all the discrete test sites on each biochip on the carrier.

1.6 Unique imaging software on the analyzers is used to translate the light signal into an analyte concentration. The CCD Camera is made up of a collection of light sensitive diodes, which convert light into electrons to produce an electrical charge.

The brighter the light that hits a single diode, the greater the electrical charge that will accumulate at that site.

1.7 The degree of light emission can therefore be quantified based on the strength of the electrical signal generated. A validated biochip image is then produced, which undergoes image analysis for quantification of the signal output at each DTR.

A validated calibration curve is used to determine the concentration of each analyte.

1.8 This technology allows for the detection of newer forms of synthetic cannabinoids and Bath Salts. In particular and uniquely it detects the latest DEA banned Synthetic Cannabinoids UR-144 and XLR-11. No other immunoassay company has this capability as of yet. It allows for multiple sample types and minimum sample volume for multiple assay analysis from a single aliquot.

2. Objectives

2.1 This action is for the acquisition of the Randox test kits:

CLIN 0001 Drugs of Abuse Array V Urine (EV3977/DOA CST XX) 18 each

CLIN 0002 Drugs of Abuse Array V Urine Controls (EV3978/DOA CST XX). 16each

CLIN 0003 Drugs of Abuse Array I Oral Fluids (EV3619) 60 each

CLIN 0004 Drugs of Abuse Array I Oral Fluid Control (EV3649) 15 each

CLIN 0005 Drugs of Abuse Array V Urine (EV3977/DOA CST XX) OY 1 18 each

CLIN 0006 Drugs of Abuse Array V Urine Controls (EV3978/DOA CST XX) OY 1 16each

CLIN 0007 Drugs of Abuse Array I Oral Fluids (EV3619) OY 1 60 each

CLIN 0008 Drugs of Abuse Array I Oral Fluid Control (EV3649) OY 1 15 each

These kits will be for the Randox Investigator analytical system. This system is for the detection of drugs of abuse, including Synthetic Cannabinoids and Bath Salt Designer drugs in Urine and Oral Fluid. Synthetic Cannabinoids and Bath Salts pose a serious threat to judicial monitoring and community safety. They present a daunting analytical challenge because until recently they have been difficult to screen for. The oral fluid kits will eventually be used in- house to supplant the external reference laboratory testing.

3. Scope of Work
