RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Beckman Coulter, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $250,000 for the purchase of reagents and supplies for the Iricell 2000 as needed for the Clinical Laboratory at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period from March 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will result in expenditures of up to $250,000 for a 29-month period and will be funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The requested reagents and supplies are specifically needed for the use of the Urinalysis Analyzer – Iricell 2000, the device used to perform automatic urine testing in the Clinical Laboratory at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC). The department uses Beckman Coulter, Inc., an awarded supplier for urinalysis supplies in the Vizient Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contract portfolio, as a primary resource for urinalysis testing.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On February 3, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved agenda item C.55 to execute a blanket purchase order with Beckman Coulter, Inc. in the amount of $280,000 to purchase reagents and supplies for the Iricell 2000 for the period from February 1, 2015 through January 31, 2021. On March 11, 2021, the Purchasing Agent execute a blanket purchase order with Beckman Coulter in the amount of $199,000 for the purchase reagents and supplies for the Iricell 2000 for the period from March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2023.

Approval of this request will allow the Clinical Laboratory at the CCRMC to continue procuring reagents and supplies for the Iricell 2000 from this vendor through August 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, the CCRMC Clinical Laboratory will not have access to this vendor’s specific patient testing supplies needed to perform urinalysis testing, which may impact patient safety and health.
