RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Medline Industries, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $632,000 for end-to-end distribution services for the period from March 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will result in expenditures of up to $632,000 and will be funded 100% by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
Previously, the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) went through bid process for the selection of their Prime Medical/Surgical distributor. One of the bid requirements was for the selected vendor to provide a product distribution channel from their distribution center to the point of use at the hospital and clinics. Professional Hospital Supply (PHS) was the only distributor that provided their customers with end-to-end distribution. In 2014, Medline Industries purchased PHS. Both PHS and Medline were awarded Medical/Surgical distribution agreements through Vizient (formerly VHA/UHC/Med Assets).
