The government requires an integrated core laboratory solution under a cost-per-reportable-result (CPRR) model, where the VHA is invoiced only for verified patient test results, not capital equipment. The solution must provide high-throughput chemistry and immunoassay testing, vendor-neutral track automation, and unified middleware, with all costs embedded into a single CPRR rate. Performance of services is in Rooms 2B-174 and 2B-170, with Phase 2 fitting a near-complete automation line into ~765 sq ft and Phase 3 requiring a high-density integrated solution in the permanent space. The platform must include an FDA-cleared lab-based TBI blood test panel on the core Alinity i analyzer for rapid concussion evaluation. Services include installation, configuration, validation, staff training, and relocation, all covered under the CPRR agreement.
