RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of Health Services Department, to execute a blanket Purchase Order with Abbott Laboratories, in the amount of $600,000, for reagents for patients at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from January 1, 2014 through December 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Enterprise Fund I budget.

BACKGROUND:

Abbott Laboratories provides the reagents required to test specimens for HIV, Hepatitis A, B and C antibodies to detect acute HIV and Hepatitis infections in patients seen at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The laboratory tests would need to be conducted by outside laboratories at a greater cost to the County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
