- Description
- Purpose The purpose of the Next Generation Diagnostics System (NGDS) solicitation is to: * Award multiple contracts to vendors of commercially available FDA-cleared diagnostic platforms for initial competitive prototyping; * Develop and manufacture FDA-cleared in-vitro diagnostic and environmental surveillance assays for biological warfare agents (BWA), infectious diseases, and other pathogens of operational concern; * Integrate the platform to be interoperable with DoD CBRN and medical information systems. Background The NGDS Increment 1 system proposed is an FDA-cleared, reusable, adaptable diagnostic device for the analysis of biological (clinical) liquid samples. Increment 1 medical diagnostic capabilities will provide health care providers with timely and accurate information to guide individual patient treatment. Additionally, the BW threat identification information obtained during diagnostic testing will provide battle field commanders with biological hazard situational awareness to support Force Protection and Force Health Protection decision making. The NGDS Increment 1 is intended to eventually replace the current Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System (JBAIDS). The proponent for this effort is the Chemical Biological Medical Systems - Biosurveillance (CBMS-BSV) Joint Product Management Office of the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD). Industry Day Information CBMS-BSV will conduct an NGDS Industry Day at 12:30 p.m. on 3 April 2012 and from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. of 4 April 2012 in Room L-6 at the Cook Convention Center in Memphis, TN to discuss the NGDS draft RFP.
