STATEMENT OF WORK DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS VA ST. LOUIS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ST. LOUIS, MO INTRODUCTION: The Environmental Microbiology Laboratory provides services and laboratory testing for other services in the medical center (dental, dialysis, engineering, and pharmacy) to assess the water quality and or sterile processing technique to ensure patient safety. Detection and isolation of organisms are an important part of the work done in this laboratory and are essential in ensuring a safe patient care environment. The contractor shall provide instrumentation, installation, and training for an automated digital environmental microbiology laboratory system.

SCOPE OF WORK: Total lab automation for microbiology would include a specimen processing system, smart incubator(s), and computerized digital workstations. This equipment would save on technologist time, improve standardization of testing, and improve turnaround time for microbiology cultures. The introduction of automated and electronic culture monitoring transforms the microbiology lab by providing a number of benefits, including standardization and significant reduction in the amount of technologist time needed for negative cultures. The biggest payoff is the potential to screen specimens more easily 24/7 and release those results. This instrumentation would allow the VASTLHCS Environmental Microbiology Laboratory to extend testing services to other VA s that do not have an accredited environmental lab. The VASTLHCS lab is looking to create a lease to own option for this equipment, consisting of one base year and four option years. Minimum Technical Specifications The operating system must be compatible with VA IT standards. The system must have the ability to be connected to VISTA via Data Innovations. Vendor must meet VA security requirements to be able to remotely connect and service the instrumentation. The system must allow for full sample traceability using uniquely barcoded disposable culture plates. The system must be able to accept multiple media types/containers.

Sources Sought Notice Sources Sought Notice Page 4 of 4 Sources Sought Notice 4

1. This market research notice is being conducted by Network Contracting Office (NCO) 17 VHA Regional Procurement Office-West (RPOW) 124 E. Hwy 67 Suite 100 Duncanville Texas 75134 for the acquisition of Leica Stellaris 5 Confocal Microscope (Brand Name).

2. Background and Requirement: The requirement is a Leica Stellaris 5 digital confocal microscope equipped with an integrated white light laser (WLL), and Power HyD S silicon detectors. This system allows for the tuning of excitation between 485 nm and 695 nm with 1 nm precision, while imaging up to 8 laser lines during a scanning procedure with freely configurable detection up to 850 nm. The Power HyD detectors enable TauSense Technology, giving access to fluorescence lifetime-based information and intensity data simultaneously. The system also includes Lightening SR mode, an information extraction technology that provides near super resolution images in real-time. The microscope is also equipped with a Super-Z Galvo stage which affords fast, accurate Z-scanning and vibration free imaging. The Stellaris 5 will replace VA owned Lecia Confocal SP5, which is 10 years old. The new Stellaris will be a direct replacement using new (but similar) technology that will be able to perform live confocal imaging with the same or higher sensitivity and performance than the old Leica Confocal SP5.

3. These are the unique characteristics that are required and currently only the Leica Stellaris 5 Digital has the capability necessary to fulfill this need. The following features are required: a. The capability of the confocal microscope to utilize up to 8 spectral lines (between 485 nm and 695 nm with 1 nm precision) in a scan using white laser and acouto optical beam splitter (AOBS) and prism-based spectral detection technology. This is achieved without the use of dichroic filters. b. Capability of the system to dynamically separate autofluorescence emitted by a sample during the scan into a separate channel (tau sensing). c. Software that can be used to analyze any legacy data collected over the past decade on the users Leica SP5 confocal microscope system. d. Capability of the system to gather fluorescence data using pulsed laser-detector technology for the separation of signals from closely related fluorochromes.

4. The Leica Stellaris is the only confocal microscope system capable of meeting the above requirements. These advanced capabilities are not only required by studies to be conducted by the end-users, but proprietary to Leica Microsystems.

5. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.
