High Speed Immunochemistry Screening Analyzers

The Naval Medical Readiness Logistics Command (NMRLC), formerly the Naval Medical Logistics Command (NMLC), will be advertising a full and open solicitation for high speed immunochemistry screening analyzer system devices. It will result in a single award Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract to provide analyzer devices for the federal Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP) and Department of Defense (DoD) Drug Testing Program (DTP).  The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334516 and Federal Product/Service Code is 6630.  The small business size standard is 500 employees.

The requirement is for six (6) high speed immunochemistry screening analyzer systems.  The system shall consist of the hardware and software required to process urine specimens with high throughput capacity, maintain the identity of each test performed on each sample, perform urinalysis testing, store the results, transmit the data via an interface to the DoD Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP) Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), and print a report of results on command.

The locations of the devices are two (2) systems at Navy Drug Screening Laboratory Great Lakes; and one (1) system for each of the following four locations: Navy Drug Screening Laboratory Jacksonville, Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory Fort Meade, Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory Tripler Army Medical Center, and Headquarters Air Force Drug Testing Laboratory Lackland Air Force Base.

The requirement includes an option for augmentation of an additional seven (7) high speed immunochemistry screening analyzer systems with reduced throughput capacity requirements. The systems must be the same manufacturer as the base requirement in order to rapidly augment the required systems. Six (6) systems shall provide 2/3 specimen throughput of the required systems, and one (1) system shall provide 1/3 specimen throughout of the required systems. The option systems shall expand the production capability of the systems procured under the base contract.

The option will be for two (2) systems with 2/3 specimen throughput at Navy Drug Screening Laboratory Jacksonville.  Additionally, one (1) system with 2/3 specimen throughput will be located at each of the following four locations: Navy Drug Screening Laboratory Great Lakes, Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory Fort Meade, Army Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory Tripler Army Medical Center, and Headquarters Air Force Drug Testing Laboratory Lackland Air Force Base.  Finally, one (1) system with 1/3 specimen throughput will be located at Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES), Dover, DE.
