(v) Contract Line Items (CLIN): Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES QUANTITY Unit of Issue UNIT PRICE AMOUNT 0001 ESR Anaylzer 1.00 EA 0002 iWASH Solution (4 Pack) 4.00 EA 0003 Seditrol, 6 x 4.5ml 4.00 EA 0004 iSED Test Cards, 10,000 Tests Alcor Placement 1.00 EA GRAND TOTAL (vi) Products must be Brand Name in the following specifications: Analyzers that can be readily integrated in a routine setting. The small footprint instrument will mix blood samples, read barcode (positive sample ID), cap-pierce blood tubes, track all reagents and position via barcode. Analyzer can scan patients via barcodes (closed container sampling), and access the test results from the LIS. A direct, bidirectional LIS interface, that can automatically be accessed by the system without needing PC systems, and allows for results to automatically be sent to the LIS for review. Micro-flow cell captures the critical kinetics of Red Blood Cells in a highly controlled testing environment. Utilizing a very small sample - 100 microliters - the analyzer captures the impact of the most critical phase of the early-phase in the phenomenon of RBC sedimentation, the so-called Rouleaux formation, to produce ESR results that are unaffected by the variables commonly associated with traditional ESR testing, such as mixing of the sample and temperature. (viii) The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial, applies to this acquisition and the following clauses AND instructions are added as addenda: CLAUSES: 52.214-21 Descriptive Literature (APR 2002) (ix) Evaluation of this requirement will be based on PRICE ONLY.

(xvi) For information regarding the solicitation, please contact Daniel Johnson at daniel.johnson44@va.gov Statement of Work Philadelphia VA Medical Center We are currently using traditional Westergren Manual Method for erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). This method is tedious and time consuming, and we are in need of upgrading our methodology.in order to keep best patient care in timely manner, we need to upgrade from traditional Westergren Manual Method to new advance automatic ESR system. This will allow for faster, easier testing analysis of our samples, while also eliminating use of manual method. This will free up significant amount of time spent by our technician performing test, while also greatly reducing manual processing error by several magnitudes. We need an ESR analyzer that can be loaded and left alone. This allows us to maximize out time and to streamline our lab s workflow. This will allow the lab to eliminate operator variability, increase safety for lab personnel, and reduce exposure to bio hazardous material, all the while, still maintaining a small footprint. We need a system that can track lot numbers, open and close container expiration dates, and track the number of test remaining. We need it to have a barcode reader built in (positive sample ID) where we can scan all controls and patients via barcodes, and access the test results from the LIS. A direct, bidirectional LIS interface means that test requests can automatically be accessed by the system without needing PC systems, and allows for results to automatically be sent to the LIS for review, meaning faster, better care for our patients. Additionally, we need it to pierce the blood tubes and to mix blood samples, and we want a system that will only run two levels of whole blood control as part of daily QC.
