The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Integrated Research Facility (IRF) at Ft. Detrick, MD, is the highest level of biocontainment laboratory, (BSL-4).
The IRF has a procurement for a ProCyte Dx Hematology Analyzer is an automated hematology analyzer for animal blood that evaluates and provides the results of 27 parameters for each blood sample in approximately two minutes.
This is a purchase to replace a non-functional instrument. The NIH/NIAID/IRF’s equipment is located in a BSL-4 laboratory. One is non-functional and has not been functional for at least three years. To maintain continuous study work we require a backup analyzer. The ProCyte Dx is one of the few Complete Blood County (CBC) analyzers that can perform reticulocyte counts which is a vital count for monitoring the health of the animals. This instrument is to maintain continuous study work. A complete blood count is a common blood test that is often part of a routine checkup, and can help detect a variety of disorders including infections, anemia, diseases of the immune system, and blood cancers. Without the instrument, the IRF will risk the chance of not jeopardizing appropriate CBC testing.
Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. This will be awarded as a firm-fixed price type of contract.
Period of Performance: Delivery is estimated at 45 days after receipt and acceptance of award.
Delivery is at the following location: NIH/NIAID/IRF, 8200 Research Plaza, Frederick, MD 21702.
