About this file
The document is a Salient Characteristics file detailing technical specifications for an in vitro diagnostics (IVD) laboratory system for the Department of the Army Medical Command. The system requires multiple integrated components: a Mass Spec analyzer capable of processing 100 specimens per 8-hour shift with FDA-approved libraries for bacteria and yeast, an Automated ID and AST System for identifying and testing Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, a Nucleic Acid Extraction System that can process multiple specimens simultaneously, and an Automated Blood and Body Fluid Specimen Incubation and Growth Detection System.
Key technical requirements include FDA IVD-approved reagents, walkaway functionality with minimal technician intervention, bi-directional interfacing with the MHS-Genesis laboratory information system, ability to perform self-calibration, automatic loading and volume measurement of specimens, and continuous monitoring of growth indicators. The system must meet Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines, provide species identification with confidence evaluation, apply standard resistance rules, and accommodate customized institutional reporting requirements. This pre-solicitation opportunity seeks sources to provide reagents for bacterial pathogen detection, with responses due by July 3, 2025.

Salient Characteristics
Mass Spec
• Must offer an FDA approved library for bacteria, and yeast.
• Walkaway functionality that requires no further technician time once the analyzer has started until it is complete.
• The instrument must be able to process minimum of 100 individual specimens in an 8 hr shift.
• The assay must include QC requirements in accordance with our accrediting bodies.
• Consumables should be scalable and able to be used in small or large sample run sizes.
• Instrument must be able to interface bi-directionally with MHS-Genesis, the laboratory information system.
• The system must provide a species ID and evaluation of the strength of the identification.
Automated ID and AST System
• System must be able to identify clinically relevant Gram positive, Gram negative organisms and Yeast
• Identification must include an evaluation of the confidence of the identification.
• Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of Gram positive and Gram negative organisms must follow guidelines set forth in the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute.
• System software must apply standard rules (e.g. intrinsic resistance, flagging of potential
Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase producers).
• System software must allow for customized reporting rules based on institution specific reporting requirements.
• Random access loading of specimens for identification and AST.
• Instrument must be able to interface bi-directionally with MHS-Genesis, the laboratory information system.
Nucleic Acid Extraction System
• System must have FDA IVD approved reagents and processes for the extraction of nucleic acids from various biological sources.
• System must be capable of process more than twelve specimens at a time.
• Walkaway functionality that requires no further technician time once the machine has started until it is complete.
• System must be able to extract and elute into from various volumes.
• System must be considered/approved for Center for Disease Control Emergency Use
Authorizations.
Automated Blood and Body fluid specimen incubation and growth detection System
• System must have FDA IVD approved reagents specific for the recovery of organisms from Blood and Body fluid specimen.
• System must be able to hold an incubation temperature of approximately 37 degrees Celsius.
• System must have around the clock monitoring of growth indicated and signal/alarm positive results.
• System must be able to perform self-calibration.
• System must be able to load Blood and Body fluid culture bottles automatically.
• System must be able to measure volume of Blood and Body fluid patient specimen in culture bottles automatically.
