Combined Synopsis/Solicitation U.S. Naval Hospital Command Blood Donor Reference Laboratory Testing Services This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared per the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations/offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation N6809621Q2105-- is being issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). Solicitation N6809621Q2105-- and the incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through the Federal Acquisition Circulation 2020-09. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541380 - Testing Laboratories. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at http://www.sam.gov, in order to be considered for award. Description of Services requested - Blood Donor / Infectious Disease Testing for the following: Standard Test Panel in accordance with the Food and Drug Administration regulations and includes the following tests: ABO/Rh (including weak-D testing Red Cell Alla-Antibody Screen Standard Test for Syphilis (STS) HBsAg Anti-HBc Anti-HCV Anti-HIV-1/HIV-2 Anti-Cytomegalovirus Anti-HTLV-I/II WNV-NAT* HIV-NAT HCV-NAT HBV-NAT Chagas Disease Testing Zika-NAT* Babesia NAT* The following assays are performed on select donations as requested by US Naval Hospital Guam: HLA Ab (TRALI) Anti-A/ Anti-B Titers Licensed Phenotype Screening - E,e,C,c, and Kell antigens (selective testing is scheduled 1 to 2 times per week.) Hemoglobin S performed by the Transfusion Services Laboratory within 24 hours of receipt of sample. The MosaiQ COVID-19 Antibody test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative detection of total (lgM and lgG) antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 in human serum and EDTA plasma collected in CLIA certified laboratories and/or by healthcare workers at the point-of-care. This test is intended for use as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. At this time, it is unknown for how long antibodies persist following infection and if the presence of antibodies confers protective immunity. The MosiaQ COIVD-19 Antibody Assay should not be used to diagnose acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. The MosaiQ COVID-19 Antibody test is only for use under the Food and Drug Administration's Emergency Use Authorization. Confirmatory testing will consist of individually run tests as follows: HBsAg Neutralization Anti-HCV Confirmatory Testing, Repeat HCV IDT-NAT, if negative then run on Anti-HCV Alternate Manufacturer EIA methodology Anti-HIV-1 Western Blot (Bio-Rad) performed at Innovative Blood Resources until Bio-Rad Geenius™ is made available at the Bloodworks Donor Testing Laboratory. Anti-HIV-2 EIA until Bio-Rad Geenius™ is made available at the Bloodworks Donor Testing Lab. Bio-Rad Geenius™ HIV-1/-2 Supplemental Testing Abbott ESA Chagas (Testing performed at Creative Testing Solutions, a qualified sub-contractor) HTLV-1/II Blot Confirmatory Testing FTA-ABS Vitalant Research Institute (VRI) SARS-CoV-2 Reporter Viral Particle Neutralization (RVPN) testing is performed when the qualitative Anti-SARS-CoV-2 screening test is reactive, to help determine the specificity and relative neutralizing capability of the antibody. The RVPNs represent a safe and rapid way of quantitatively measuring neutralization, by using SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein pseudotyped onto a rhabdovirus reporter virus. The assay is performed by mixing serial dilutions of serum with constant concentrations of reporter viruses, in equal volumes. The mixture is then added to cell culture monolayers to assess antibody presence. Inhibited reporter virus growth in the cell culture monolayers is indicative of the presence of neutralizing antibody in serum. The SARS-CoV-2 RVPN detects the presence of neutralizing antibody directed against the virus but there is still a potential that cross reactivity with other coronavirus species may occur. FDA recommends neutralizing antibody titration for CCP qualification.
