RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute an amendment to Purchase Order #17679 with ASD Specialty Healthcare, LLC (dba ASD Healthcare) to increase the payment limit by $100,000 for a new payment limit of $295,000 for the purchase of Remdesivir, for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is 100% funded by the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Regional Medical Center's Pharmacy Unit has been purchasing Remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19 patients from ASD Healthcare. ASD Healthcare is the only Federal Government authorized distributor.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, CCRMC will not be able to purchase Remdesivir, that is needed for treating COVID-19 patients, which could cause a negative impact in the health of patients at CCRMC.
