RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Becton Dickinson and Co., in an amount not to exceed $297,000, for the purchase of reagents and clinic laboratory supplies for the Contra Costa Regional Medical and Health Centers, for the period January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

This Purchase Order request is for reagents, cytology products and other clinic laboratory supplies. Pap smears are collected by the provider in a liquid medium. The Becton Dickinson and CO (BD) D TriPath Prep Stain Slide Processor mounts the material on slides and then stains the slides. The stained slides are then read by the Cytologist and/or Pathologist. The reagents and supplies are specific to the BD TriPath Prep Stain Slide Processor.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the Pathology Department will not be able to process pap smears, which is the screening tool used in gynecology to detect the process of abnormal cells in the cervix.
