The Department of Defense's Defense Health Agency has issued a Statement of Work (SOW) for leasing Blood Chemistry Analyzers at the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) and Blood Donor Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas. The purpose is to support the medical processing of about 30,000 Basic Military Trainees and collect 10,000 blood units.

Key requirements include compatibility with specific reagents, the ability to conduct a wide range of blood tests, and continuous loading capabilities. Installation involves thorough validation and training for MTF personnel. The contractor is responsible for comprehensive maintenance support, including a 24/7 help hotline. Compliance with HIPAA regulations, data management standards, and safety protocols is mandated. This SOW reflects the government's commitment to maintain high standards in military medical services through effective contracting for essential medical equipment and support.
