RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with Smith & Nephew, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $300,000 to purchase surgical supplies, implants, instruments, and other accessories for surgeries provided by orthopedics, sports medicine, and ENT service lines as needed for the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) for the period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this action will result in expenditures of up to $300,000 over a three-year period and will be fully funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.

BACKGROUND:

Executing a purchase order with Smith & Nephew, Inc. will allow the Department to procure various surgical supplies, implants, instruments, and other accessories needed for surgeries at CCRMC. This vendor is a sole source provider of the "Fast-Fix Flex" system that enables all-zone meniscal repairs to treat tears previously not repairable, and also provides Spider Limb positioners that allow proper patient positioning for shoulder, knee, and small joint arthroscopy. This vendor's product line also includes tonsil and adenoid wands used in ENT with oblation technology to remove targeted tissue gently and precisely versus cauterization.

On October 16, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved agenda item C.39 to execute a purchase order with Smith & Nephew, Inc. in an amount of $600,000 for the purchase of medical supplies for the Operating Room at CCRMC for the period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020.

Approval of this request will allow CCRMC to continue procuring surgical supplies, implants, instruments, and other accessories needed for surgeries from this vendor through March 31, 2026.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, CCRMC will not have access to this vendor's specialized surgical supplies, implants, instruments, and other accessories needed to provide surgery and care for the general population of Contra Costa County in the areas of sport medicine, orthopedics, and ENT.
