Perox 2 each Period of Performance: The period of performance for these products is one (1) year. July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2018. Delivery Schedule: The Cell Processing Section has delivered a standing order schedule to the company. The company shall comply by sending the materials per the standing order schedule. Scope of Work: The Contractor will supply sufficient reagents and disposables to process numerous assay samples per year. Shelf Life-Minimum - shelf life of any unopened reagent shall be at least 60 days unless otherwise agreed to from date of delivery at the DTM Cell Processing Laboratory. Shelf Life of disposables shall be at least 3 months from date of delivery at the DTM Cell Processing Laboratory. The reagents and disposables may include but not limited to those listed above. Objective: Advia reagent kits and accessories are needed to perform advanced cell counts and must be used in conjunction with the ADVIA System purchased in 2015. Regarding the system/instrument, it provides a superior system for analyzing samples that do not contain hemoglobin (i.e., samples of cells in clear solutions). The Advia analyzer has broader linearity for detection of low red and white blood cell counts, high white blood cell and platelet counts which are needed for cell counting of FDA licensed red blood cell and platelet concentrates and cellular therapy products manufactured under FDA investigational new product applications. The proposed vendor, Siemens, is the only known vendor that manufactures the Siemens kits and accessories for the Siemens Advia instrumentation purchased in 2015 due to the current analyzer in use, Abbott Cell-Dyn 3700, being phased out by the company. This Siemens was the only comparable clinical analyzer with the capability of performing cells counts using a veterinary program. These kits and accessories permit the analysis of cells that undergo expansion in X Vivo cell culture. This allows for not only cell counts but also the specific type of cells. These kits (and accessories) via the Advia analyzer allow for the detection of low red and white blood cell counts, high white blood cell and platelet counts which are needed for cell counting of FDA licensed red blood cell and platelet concentrates an cellular therapy products manufactured under FDA investigational new product applications. If we were not able to procure this, the protocols would have to be discontinued as the Cell Processing Section would not be able to manufacture blood products required for patient care. This could be fatal. CAPABILITY STATEMENT - Any potential Manufacturer must demonstrate the following: 1) The offeror shall submit product literature for the supplies it is proposing. Capability Statement(s) should clearly identify the following: a. Name of the Manufacturer, quantity and location where the units are produced (domestic and/or international); b. A signed statement to state, "We are the Manufacturer of the items and/or we are authorized distributors of company X"; c. Estimated Number of days, after receipt of order that is typical for delivery of such items; d. Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in developing its minimum specifications and finalizing its market research. 2) Provide the following business information: a. DUNS number b. Company Name c. Company Address (including point of contact, phone number and email address) d. Type/Size of company, NAICS code as validated in SAMS. Respondents will NOT be notified of the results of the evaluation.
