RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Covidien Holding, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $2,250,000 for the purchase of instruments, sutures, and supplies for the Operating Room at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period from February 1, 2020 through January 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The purchase order is 100% funded by the Hospital Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

Covidien Holding, Inc. provides instruments, sutures, and supplies for the Surgical Unit to perform procedures and operations at the CCRMC. Covidien Holding, Inc. has been a reliable source of supplies for the Operating Room, providing a fast and steady replenishment of supplies.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this Purchase Order will result in increased expense to the Health Services Department. CCRMC is able to take advantage of Covidien’s status as a Vizient vendor, which enables the Department to obtain competitive pricing through the Vizient Group Purchasing contract.
