- 1.0. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES 1.1. PURPOSE: Acquire delivery of five Positive Pressure Manifold Systems. 1.2 SCOPE: The contractor must perform the delivery IAW the guidelines outlined below: Positive pressure manifold systems will have the ability to accommodate 13x100 and 16x100 collection racks and process up to 48 samples. Positions must be individually regulated and have the ability to control flow to each row. Must accommodate up to 48 columns of either 1 ml, 3m1, 6m1, 10m1, 15ml and the ability to switch between column sizes. Must have the ability to allow user to set different pressures for extraction and column drying. 2.0 BACKGROUND The Forensic Toxicology Division (FTD) serves as the central forensic toxicology laboratory for the entire DoD. Forensic toxicology encompasses the measurement of alcohol, drugs and other toxic substances in biological specimens in support of medical examiner and other DoD investigations. Positive pressure manifold systems will be utilized to prepare biological samples for analysis and contribute towards research, method development, and production work in the Forensics Toxicology Laboratory. 3.0 PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES: Successfully and completely deliver, five positive pressure manifold systems. 4.0 ADMINISTRATION: 4.1. Computer network and LISA. Contractors will not be allowed to access the interne and/or be granted computer access to the AFMES Network. The Forensic Toxicology Technical Representative or designee will be available for requests to see specific items on the network.

(d)Once the Security Officer receives the email request from the appropriate AFMES staff they will prepare and send the formal request to DAFB Security Forces at the following email address 436 SFS/PID ORG [436SFS.PID-02@us.af.mil]. (e)DAFB Security Forces will initiate a background check on the named vendor and if approved will issue a Vendor Base Access Badge and send a reply confirmation email back to the AFMES Security Officer notifying them that the badge would be available for pickup at the Visitor Center located by the DAFB Main Gate entrance. The badge will be available there for 30 days, if not picked up by the vendor within those 30 days the badge will be destroyed.

Those who possess a hand written documentation will require escort by authorized personnel. Minimum Essential Characteristics The Division of Forensic Toxicology provides toxicology laboratory testing and consultation for medical examiner investigations, air and sea mishap investigation and criminal investigations throughout DoD. Testing of specimens for prescription, over the counter (OTC) and illicit drugs is the main function of the DFT and requires the use of positive pressure manifold systems to prepare biological samples for analysis. The Minimum Essential Characteristics of all reference standards must include: 1)Must have the ability to process up to 48 samples 2)Positions must be individually regulated 3)Must have the ability to control flow to each row 4)Must accommodate up to 48 columns of either lml, 3m1, 6m1, 10m1 or 15m1 5)Must have ability to switch between column sizes 6)Must have the ability to allow user to set different pressures for extraction and column drying 7)13x100 and 16x100 collection racks
