- Description
- STATEMENT OF WORK The Virology & Emerging Infections Department of the U.S. Naval Medical and Research Unit No. 6 (NAMRU-6) performs febrile and respiratory surveillance in study sites around Peru and Latin America aiming at collecting human samples for the detection of pathogens such as influenza virus, adenovirus, Metapneumovirus, Enterovirus, Rhinovirus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Mayaro virus, Alphaviruses (Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV), Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), Mayaro virus (MAYV), Una virus (UNAV), Trocara virus (TROCV) RNA, Oropouche virus, Arenavirus (Tacaribe), Dengue virus and SARS-CoV-2. In order to meet study objectives, VEID researchers need to have all study samples collected in sites around Latin America shipped to NAMRU-6, and also ship a large variety of laboratory supplies to study sites so they have all materials ready for sample collection and processing. All samples collected shall be stored in a freezer maintained in satisfactory operating condition within the acceptable temperature (from -69�C to -85�C) and send the samples to NAMRU-6 Lima, Peru, for laboratory processing and final storage. Each site will ship one cardboard box containing 25kg of dry ice. NAMRU-6 will require specimens be delivered within a week from the date of pickup at each study site, and dry ice be re-filled as needed in order to maintain the proper cold chain. Study samples need to be picked up from the following sites: Asunci�n, Paraguay Cartagena, Colombia Meta, Colombia Medell�n, Colombia Tegucigalpa, Honduras As far as materials, supplies to be shipped include: FilmArray Respiratory Panels, FilmArray Global Fever Panel Tests, sample collection materials, sample storage supplies, lab wear, among others. Supplies will be shipped to the following destinations: Cartagena, Colombia Panama, Republic of Panama All of these, biological specimens shipped frozen and laboratory supplies shipped at room temperature, are sensitive material and, in some countries, require special customs treatment, which vendor should be aware of, manage, and timely communicate to NAMRU-6 so we have everything ready to prevent delays. Vendor contracted should be able to assist NAMRU-6 with all documentation and processes needed at each site where samples will be collected. Service is expected to be rendered as soon as a contract award is made.
