- Description
- NAICS Code: 5415 Region VIII LIMS Requirements: 1. Must meet our requirements for ease-of-use through direct testing of product. Must be able to perform all required tasks within one to two days of study with little or no training by instructor. Tasks that should be accomplished within two days include: project setup, client setup, sample login, method selection, target list for multi-component test, work sheet data entry, dry weight setup / dry weight data entry, sample amount setup/correction, reporting limit setup, manual and automatic (parsing) data entry for test results, and final reports with correction for sample amount and dry weight. 2. Must have checklist built into the LIMS for sample login to document condition of samples upon receipt. 3. Must be able to assign unique sequential laboratory sample Ids for two separate work groups. 4. Must be able to import sample locations from GPS system, or hand-entered Lat/Longs. This data must be able to be extracted per sample for final Storet reporting. 5. All Golden Laboratory instrumentation must be integrated for parsing into the system at no additional cost for each and every instrument. See table 1 for instrument list. 6. Must be able to parse data from dual signal instruments, such as a dual detector GC or HPLC. LIMS must be able to accept two results for same value and suggest/accept a preferred choice, with manual over-ride available. 7. Must be able to parse multiple files for multiple dilutions of a single sample. LIMS must be able to accept varying dilutions for same result and suggest/accept most accurate or preferred value, with manual over-ride available. 8. Must be able to parse extensive amounts of raw data into the system, such as would be needed to support certain data deliverables such as SEDD. This would include daily and initial calibration files, blanks, matrix spikes, and laboratory control samples. It would include raw area counts, retention times, wavelengths, analysis times, extraction times, and various other information. 9. Must contain adequate fields to address potential numerous issues about sample receipt (ie. Sample broken, tag incorrectly noted, etc.) 10. Must be able to use Oracle as the primary database (Agency standard) 11. Must have the integrated ability to produce customized reports using Crystal Reports. 12. Each client workstation must have the ability to seamlessly view reports. 13. Must include the ability to seamlessly generate electronic reports/deliverables, including the Superfund Electronic Data Deliverable (SEDD), PDF, and ADAPT format. 14. Must be able to track samples through the entire laboratory process, from scheduling until proper disposal of sample. Should include an electronic internal chain of custody. 15. MUST be able to correct sample result for dry weight and exact sample size within the LIMS program without external programing, custom spreadsheets, or other LIMS customization. 16. MUST be able to correct method detection limit (MDL) and reporting limits for dry weight and exact sample size within the LIMS program without external programing, custom spreadsheets, or other LIMS customization. 17. Must be able to automatically update MDL and reporting limits through integrated system statistical package. 18. Must have a way of defining an array of data qualifiers for data flagging integrated into system. 19. Must be able to generate one final report package from multiple sub-reports. 20. Must be able to convert ppbv to ug/M3 units for air samples. 21. Must be able to parse Forms II Lite field data into the login module of the LIMS. 22. Must have barcode capability for sample identification. 23. Must provide on-site training to assist the staff in performing required LIMS tasks. 24. Must have multi-level review features before final release of data or report. 25. Must have the ability to "group" samples into sets, such as through an SDG designation, even if received over several days. This should be visible on the sample tag and may be manifested in the sample number itself. 26. Must be licensed to support 10 concurrent users or more. 27. Must be able to identify (& define) analytical samples, standards like "initial calibration verification, Labeled as ICV". Unique per method, per instrument, may differ by group. 28 Must be able to define numerous sample QC types, per method , per matrix with recommend pull down menu and generate QC reports for each sample group. 29. Must be able to update (Standard QC) true values, update detection limits(including date of revision) using single entry that are unique per method, per instrument, per group. 30. Must be able to select whether reported analyte concentrations are on wet or dry weight basis. 31. Must be able to add additional matrices (sediments, water fleas, fish, etc.) As needed per project. 32. Must be able to state control limits per QC parameter. May differ per group, per method. 33. Must be able to hand-enter sample results for analyses not preformed on an instrument (i.e., gravimetric determinations) 34. Must be able to select analytes for reporting. I.E. analytes broken into sub-categories , or listed/selected by analytical method preformed with little or no training. 35. Must incorporate any sample dilutions into reported detection limits (i.e. if the sample was diluted by a factor of 4, the analytes which were non-detected have a detection 4x higher due to the dilution). The sample dilution must also be noted on the sample data report as justification for the increased detection limit(s). 36. Must Generate Waste reports based on analyte concentrations 37. Must provide an audit trail in system to record changes to data. 38. System must be fully populated, on-line, and "live" by December 31, 2004, with electronic reporting. 39. Must have technical support available Mon-Fri and respond to requests within one working day at no additional cost with purchased maintenance agreement.
