About this file
This document contains the Questions & Answers from a Request for Response (RFR) issued by the state of Massachusetts for a Hospital Laboratory Reagent Agreement. The RFR covers the provision of laboratory reagents and supplies, and requires a response by February 21, 2019 at 4 PM through the online CommBuys system. The RFR specifies response time requirements for maintenance and repair service, ranging from 5 to 8 hours depending on the equipment configuration. It also clarifies that testing volume figures provided are for informational use only, and that CY 2018 data represents the most recent information available.
The RFR does not appear to include any specific pricing terms, set asides, or funding information. The document indicates an existing contract is in place, but does not provide details on the incumbent or the current contract environment.

RFR 193225 Hospital Laboratory Reagent Agreement Questions & Answers
1. What 3rd party QC material is used (e.g.: Biorad, MAS, etc.)?
We use Biorad Controls for 99% of QC. We use Siemens Calibrator for Heroin QC.
2. Section 3.1 - Can you provide an expanded description of what is referred to as “emergent” and “non-emergent” situation?
Disregard bullets 2, 3 and 4 of paragraph 3.1. Replace with the following: “In the event an analyzer is down: If the vendors installed configuration has backup capability; we require service response time of 8 hours. If the installed equipment configuration has no back up, or the backup is down, we require a service response time of 5 hours.
3. Submission mode – is it okay if we only respond with a paper submission by deadline or is the online response required?
An online response submission through CommBuys is a requirement. Submissions must be submitted by February 21, 2019 at 4 PM.
4. During bidder’s conference, we were supplied with updated CY 2018 testing volumes. Should these be used instead of the testing volumes provided in the RFR?
Testing Volumes were provided for informational use only. CY 2018 is the most recent figures available.
