65 -- 6 ACETYLMORPHINE (6-AM) IMMUNOASSAY REAGENT POC Ralph Payne, 301/619-3026 E-MAIL: Naval Medical Logistics Command, rpayne@nml10.med.navy.mil. The Naval Medical Logistics Command has a requirement to identify potential sources to provide immunoassay test reagent for 6-acetylmorphine (6-AM). The reagent shall be for the initial (screen) immunoassay for the semi-qualitative detection specifically of 6-AM in urine from heroin ingestion. Cross reactivity of the reagent for codeine, morphine, oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, is not desired. The reagent must be sensitive to discriminate the presence of 6-AM present at a concentration of 10 ng/ml in urine. The reagent must be compatible for use with the Olympus AU800 automated drug screening equipment, and must be applicable without modification of the equipment. The reagent must be compatible with optimal throughput of the AU800 and must not interfere with the optimum performance of other immunoassay procedures in the military laboratories. Be advised that this is not a request for the submission of offers or proposals; no contract award will be made as a result of this notice. Responses shall include relative information to provide the 6-AM reagent sought. Immunoassay kits are medical devices which require FDA approval to market. Responses shall indicate FDA compliance or the estimated lead time required to obtain FDA approval. Responses to this sources sought notice shall be submitted no later than 30 days after the date of this notice, to Naval Medical Logistics Command, ATTN: Ralph Payne, 521 Fraim Street, Fort Detrick, MD 21702-5015. Responses may also be faxed to 301-619-2925 or emailed to rpayne@nml10.med.navy.mil. Posted 05/20/99 (W-SN333706). (0140)
