Diagnostic Reference Laboratory Testing Services

This "SOURCES SOUGHT ONLY" Statement of Work outlines the requirements for diagnostic reference laboratory testing services for the Phoenix Indian Medical Center (PIMC). The contractor will provide off-site, non-emergent cancer and infectious disease testing, including cellular analysis (IHC, Flow Cytometry) and molecular analysis (PCR, in-situ hybridization) of DNA/RNA. Key requirements include a comprehensive test catalog with costs, quick turnaround times (7-10 working days for routine, 2-4 hours for critical results), and secure result disclosure. The contract spans a base year with four one-year options. The contractor must be CLIA licensed and accredited, maintain a quality control program, and follow specific specimen collection and shipping protocols. Invoicing must include detailed information, and payment will be via EFT. PIMC is tax-exempt, but the contractor is responsible for all applicable taxes. A Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will monitor performance, while only the Contracting Officer can modify contract terms. Performance standards, including acceptable quality levels for specimen transport and testing timelines, are detailed to ensure satisfactory service.
