Five (5) Automated Apheresis Systems for the Robertson Blood Center, Fort Hood, Texas

The Medical Readiness Contracting Office-West, Fort Hood, TX, is conducting a market survey to gather information from potential offerors for the procurement of Five Automated Apheresis Systems for the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, Fort Hood, Texas. The systems must meet specific requirements, including multi-component versatility, high-yield capacity, integrated leukoreduction, donor safety and flow management, isovolemic fluid management, and data security. Interested parties are invited to submit a written Statement of Capability, limited to 3 pages, demonstrating their ability, capability, and responsibility to provide and deliver the required products. The statement should include the offeror's name, address, point of contact, phone number, and email address, as well as their interest in providing a proposal/quote on the solicitation when it is issued, and their capability to provide the products being requested. • The system must be capable of collecting Platelets, Plasma, and Red Blood Cells (RBCs) either individually or concurrently in a single donor procedure. • The system must be validated to perform single, double, and triple platelet unit collections (achieving ≤ 9.3 × 10^11 platelets for triple units). • The system must achieve leukoreduction automatically during the collection cycle (yielding ≤ 5.0 × 10^6 residual WBCs) without requiring secondary or manual filtration steps. • The system must utilize automated pressure-monitoring technology that automatically throttles draw and return flow rates (up to 150 mL/min) to optimize collection speed while preventing donor vein collapse. • The system must automatically calculate and administer precise saline compensation based on donor biometrics (height, weight, hematocrit) to maintain donor fluid balance. • The platform must support bi-directional BECS integration and provide documentation (e.g., Software Bill of Materials) supporting compliance with DoD RMF protocols.
