The vendor will provide test kits for a VA-owned molecular analyzer located in the VA Portland Medical Center Microbiology Department. Required kits must use multiplex PCR with FDA-cleared assays covering up to 20 respiratory targets, at least 20 GI pathogen targets, at least 40 blood culture identification targets, and up to 14 meningitis/encephalitis targets. The method must require two minutes or less of hands-on setup and yield results within one hour, with amplification, detection, and analysis performed in a single self-contained system. The analyzer’s software automatically generates results for each target in one report. No budget or timeline information is mentioned in the description.
