Cell Washing Systems

The Naval Medical Logistics Command intends to negotiate on a sole source basis IAW FAR 6.302-1 with Haemonetics Corporation, 400 Wood Road, Braintree, MA 02184 as the only responsible source that can provide a ACP 215 Cell Washer System manufactured by Haemonetics. Machine (Closed): Height: 17.0 in. (43.0 cm); Width: 21.5 in. (55.0 cm); Depth: 12.0 in. (30.5 cm); Weight: 56 lbs. (25.0 kg); Machine (In Operation): Height: 26.5 in. (67.5 cm) Width: 21.5 in. (55.0 cm); Depth: 21.5 in. (55.0 cm); Weight: 56 lbs. (25.0 kg);Electrical: Voltage: 110-240+–10%; Frequency: 47-63 Hz; Current: 5.0 Amperes The ACP 215 is the cell washer mandated to be utilized by Armed Services Blood Program coordinated by the Armed Services Blood Program Office. The ACP 215 is the only cell washer that meets the NAVY standards as defined in NAVMED P-5123. Additionally, the ACP 215 interfaces with the existing Total Containment Device (TCD), manufactured by Haemonetics onboard. The choice of any other manufacturer would result in a breakdown of that interoperability between fleet and reduce the lifesaving capability of each of the ships.
