LabWare LIMS Development Support – Dugway Proving Ground

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal service contract under which the personnel rendering the services are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees. The United States (U.S.) Government shall not exercise supervision or control over the Contractor’s employees performing the tasks herein. Such contract employees shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn shall be responsible to the U.S. Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the LabWare Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) development tasks for the Chemical Test Division (CTD) at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as government furnished property (GFP) and government furnished services (GFS). Only current certified LabWare consultants may perform the remaining development of the system. The contractor shall meet the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: CTD has purchased a LIMS system through the vendor LabWare. The initial purchase was for the LabWare software, licenses, scoping study, installation, and development of the LIMS structure. The initial work work has been completed to provide the CTD with an existing LIMS system. Additional development support is needed to complete the development of the various modules and functions of the LIMS. The additional development support will provide a LIMS system with the capability of the items listed in the Scope of this document. The additional work needed through this contract is to complete the LabWare LIMS system which must be completed by a contractor that has access to the latest software updates, patches, modules, code, etc. Current LabWare consultants and assistants are the only contractors that can meet this requirement. LabWare is the only source capable of providing LabWare LIMS and related proprietary modules, updates, and service. Due to the proprietary nature of the software, no other vendor or consultant outside of LabWare has the legal right or technical capability to sell, configure, or support the product. The completed LIMS system will increase the efficiency of the CTD in processing standard solutions, test samples, and supporting data packages and reports for CTD testing.

1.3 Objectives: The objective of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to acquire development support from the contractor to provide a complete LabWare LIMS system. The contractor will ensure that the development support will deliver the LabWare LIMS to CTD that contains working modules or functions that provide a functioning production phased LIMS system. The LIMS system will be capable of creating and managing chemical inventories, standard solutions, chain of custodies, analytical instrumentation, projects, studies, data processing, data review and approval, chemical and solution labeling, investigations, and data reporting with Crystal Reports. A detailed list of development items is contained in the attached spreadsheet Dugway Phased Implementation Rev 2 6- 2-25.xlsx. The support is anticipated to be performed remotely, and modules/functions/files/configurations be transferred using DoD Safe. If on-site work is needed, then all travel related costs are fully included in the contract price.

1.4 Scope: Contractor shall provide LIMS development support to complete the existing LabWare LIMS so that it will contain modules or functions that will successfully perform the items outlined below.

• Ensure that the installation of the LIMS is completed correctly.

• Instrument interfacing. Creating parsing scripts to automatically collect data from instrument outputs into the LIMS, adding instrument information in the LIMS; testing the instruments for correct functionality in pulling data into the LIMS. See below for the instrument list.

• Projects/Studies. To include creation, associated requests, reporting, review, and approval.

• Requests. Create workflows for projects/studies, standard solutions, purity analysis, environment samples, safety air monitoring, and sample analysis by GC, LC, MINICAMS, and GASMET instruments.

• Laboratory Processing. Create sample logging workflow for sample receipt, review, and viewing.

Samples can be individual samples or batches.

• Data Exporting. Export data to excel files, pdfs, and custom reports. Data to be exported by the associated request, study, sample, or analysis.

• Chain of Custody. Create samples, solutions, or chemicals in the LIMS, and generate chain of custody tracking for those items. Chain of custody can be for an individual sample or batch of samples associated with a project or study.

• Labels. Create and print labels for standard solutions, samples, and inventory chemicals or reagents.

• Standard solutions/Reagents. Create workflows/templates to create standard solutions/reagents from chemicals/solvents in the LIMS inventory. Workflows/templates should include calculations and analytical balance connection to allow solutions/reagents to be prepared volumetrically or gravimetrically. The LIMS should be able to manage and track solutions/reagents with relevant information being generated for labeling and tracking.

• Inventory. Create workflows/templates to allow chemical inventory of stock parent chemical agents/chemicals/solvents. Workflows/templates should include the ability to generate inventory reports for locations, quantities, chemicals, etc.

• Investigations. Create workflows/templates to allow the investigation of projects, studies, and samples based on results, locations, types, analysts, etc.

• Reporting. Create reports using Crystal Reports associated to a request, project, study, or sample(s). Reports should include items needed for traceability of the result, items such as request/study narrative summary, certificates for chemicals/reagents, chain of custody, standard solutions, calibrations, chromatograms, results summary, instrument methods, and/or mass spectrometer calibration or tune reports.

• Acceptance testing. Create and execute a test plan for the LIMS system. Execute operations that will evaluate all aspects of the LIMS system performance and resolve any performance issues.

Document the performance of the LIMS in an evaluation report.

• Transfer of the developed LIMS to a production live system.

SPECIFIC TASKS

5. Specific Tasks:

Contractor shall provide LabWare LIMS development support to complete the current LabWare LIMS so that it will contain modules or functions that will successfully perform the items outlined below.

• Ensure that the installation of the LIMS is completed correctly.

• Instrument interfacing. Creating parsing scripts to automatically collect data from instrument outputs into the LIMS, adding instrument information in the LIMS; testing the instruments for correct functionality in pulling data into the LIMS. See below for instrument list.

• Projects/Studies. To include creation, associated requests, reporting, review, and approval.

• Requests. Create workflows for projects/studies, standard solutions, purity analysis, environment samples, safety air monitoring, and sample analysis by GC, LC, MINICAMS, and GASMET instruments.

• Laboratory Processing. Create sample logging workflow for sample receipt, review, and viewing. Samples can be individual samples or batches.

• Data Exporting. Export data to excel files, pdfs, and custom reports. Data to be exported by the associated request, study, sample, or analysis.

• Chain of Custody. Create samples, solutions, or chemicals in the LIMS, and generate chain of custody tracking for those items. Chain of custody can be for an individual sample or batch of samples associated with a project or study.

• Labels. Create and print labels for standard solutions, samples, and inventory chemicals or reagents.

• Standard solutions/Reagents. Create workflows/templates to create standard solutions/reagents from chemicals/solvents in the LIMS inventory. Workflows/templates should include calculations and analytical balance connection to allow solutions/reagents to be prepared volumetrically or gravimetrically. The LIMS should be able to manage and track solutions/reagents with relevant information being generated for labeling and tracking.

• Inventory. Create workflows/templates to allow chemical inventory of stock parent chemical agents/chemicals/solvents. Workflows/templates should include the ability to generate inventory reports for locations, quantities, chemicals, etc.
