This government file outlines an extensive list of laboratory tests, likely for a federal or state procurement of medical testing services. The document details over 1000 distinct tests, categorized by item number, SLIN, and description, covering a broad spectrum of diagnostics. These include allergy panels (e.g., food, insect, environmental), infectious disease testing (e.g., adenovirus, HIV, hepatitis, Lyme disease), oncology markers (e.g., CEA, CA-125, various FISH analyses), pharmacogenomics, toxicology screens (e.g., drug abuse panels, heavy metals), hormonal assays, autoimmune disease markers, and specialized genetic analyses. Each test is associated with a specific turnaround time (TAT) in days, ranging from 1 to 25 days, and all listed services are for a contract period from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026. The comprehensive nature of this list suggests a request for proposals (RFP) for a wide range of laboratory diagnostic services, emphasizing the need for timely and accurate results over a defined contract duration.
