Description

Please note that this is NOT a request for quotes or proposals, the Government is seeking information for market research purposes only. The Department of Veterans Affairs, VA James J. Peters VA medical center is currently conducting a market survey for qualified firms capable of providing "(Geenius HIV 1/2 Supplemental Assay for the Bronx VA Medical Center)" The vendor will be responsible for, but not limited to: Scope of Work: The contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the deliverables described in the Price / Cost Sheet listed below for the Immunochemistry procedures at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center. Background: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by viruses transmitted by sexual contact, exposure to blood (including sharing contaminated needles and syringes) or certain blood products, or transmitted from an infected mother to her fetus or child during the perinatal period. Additionally, transmission of these viruses can occur through tissue transplantation. Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) has been isolated from patients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex (ARC). HIV-1 was thought to be the sole causative agent of these syndromes until 1986, when a second type of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-2) was isolated and also reported to cause AIDS. Since the initial discovery, hundreds of cases of HIV-2 infection have been documented worldwide, including cases of AIDS related to HIV-2. In the United States, there have been more than 80 cases of infection with HIV-2 reported, including three potential blood donors. This second immunodeficiency virus is similar to, but distinct from, HIV-1. Both viruses have similar morphology and lymphotropism,16 and the modes of transmission appear to be identical.9,18 The HIV 1 and HIV-2 genomes exhibit about 60% homology in conserved genes such as gag and pol, and 39-45% homology in the envelope genes.19 Serologic studies have also shown that the core proteins of HIV-1 and HIV-2 display frequent cross-reactivity whereas the envelope proteins are more type-specific. The Geenius HIV 1/2 Supplemental Assay is an immunochromatographic test that incorporates highly conserved recombinant proteins and synthetic peptides representing HIV-1 and HIV-2 proteins. The Geenius HIV 1/2 Supplemental Assay is simple and easy to use for the detection and differentiation of individual antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in serum, plasma, or whole blood. The Geenius HIV 1/2 Supplemental Assay can be used in accordance with current CDC recommendations for Laboratory Testing for the Diagnosis of HIV Infection. Per the CDC recommended algorithm, specimens reactive on a 4th generation HIV assay should undergo supplemental testing with an immunoassay that differentiates HIV-1 from HIV-2 antibodies. Type of Contract: Firm Fixed Price The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) is 325414.
