The PO MOD M0001 reflects the current Service Agreement that is still in effect for the ROCHE COBAS INTEGRA 400+; starts another Service Agreement for the ROCHE e411 RACK; and incorporates four (4) additional OPTION YEARS for both Service Agreements to ensure continuity of services & maintenance for USDA WHNRC previously purchased equipment from ROCHE. Both equipment are located at the USDA-ARS WHNRC, 430 W. Health SC Drive, One Shields Ave, Davis, CA. The Firm Fixed PO MOD M0001 includes: •1) Two (2) Services Agreements for the listed ROCHE equipment owned by USDA WHNRC in Davis, CA: •a) ROCHE COBAS INTERGRA 400+ S/N#: 39-8818 & •b) ROCHE e411 RACK S/N#: 1388-40. •2) Four (4) 12-Mths Option Years (to be exercised at the Government discretion) for continuity of these Service Agreements. USDA WHNRC previously purchased both the ROCHE Cobas Integra 400 + and the ROCHE Cobas e411, which are used daily for multiple human research clinical chemistry analyses and are consistently running thousands of samples per year. ROCHE is the sole manufacturer & the only authorized provider to ensure continuity of these equipment PM visits, services & repairs. The ROCHE Cobas Integra 400+ is designed to consolidate testing and increase efficiency while reducing total running costs of the laboratory. This systems has an extensive assay menu and innovation of the cobas c pack, which are combined with four proven measurement technologies and sophisticated, easy-to-use software. The intelligent processing on Cobas Integra 400+ automatically schedules each sample's tests to minimize analyser turnaround time and increase throughput, while allowing immediate STAT testing 24 hours a day. The ROCHE Cobas e411 is for immunological analysis of serum or plasma and offers rapid STAT and turnaround time, an on-board capacity of 18 tests and throughput of up to 88 tests per hour. Sample carrier options include disc or Roche/Hitachi five-position rack. As the heart of the cobas e411 analyzer, ECL technology delivers the unique combination of nine minute STAT applications, high analytical sensitivity and wide measuring ranges for unparalleled performance in immunochemistry. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technology, found exclusively on the Roche ELECSYS® 2010 and MODULAR® ANALYTICS E-170 systems, cobas 6000 analyzer series and the cobas e411 analyzer is so sensitive it can parallel the sensitivity of PCR3. This is the equivalent of reliably finding one red M&M® in an Olympic-sized pool of blue ones - in just 18 minutes. ECL is a unique and highly sensitive luminescence (light) detection system that amplifies the signal you want and reduces any signals you don't want to deliver unmatched low-end sensitivity and broad dynamic measuring ranges. Pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
