RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Health Services Director, a purchase order with McKesson Medical Surgical Inc., in an amount not to exceed $615,000 to purchase reagents and supplies including small equipment for the Clinical Laboratory at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), for the period from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will result in expenditures of up to $615,000 and will be funded by 40% Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues, 30% Enhancing Lab Capacity (ELC) grant, and 30% American Rescue Plan Act Funding.
BACKGROUND:
The CCRMC Clinical Laboratory has used McKesson Medical Surgical Inc. since 2015 and will continue to use as a backup to the laboratory’s main distributor (Fisher Scientific). The laboratory has been using more supplies due to back orders, holds, and allocations since the COVID pandemic. McKesson has local warehouses which eliminates drop ship orders and can assure products for the lab in a timely manner without extra charges.
