RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Health Services Director, an amendment to Purchase Order #18098 with Hologic, Inc., to extend the term from January 1, 2020 to January 16, 2024, with no change to the payment limit of $1,000,000 to procure laboratory testing supplies.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order amendment will result in expenditures of up to $1,000,000 and will be funded through Enterprise I Fund Revenues.

BACKGROUND:

Approval of this purchase order will allow for the purchase of updated test menu reagents and kits to include Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomonas vaginalis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1 & 2, HIV viral load, HCV viral load, HBV viral load testing, and SARS-CoV-2 screening at the Contra Costa County Public Health Laboratory. Routine high-volume sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing is performed on Hologic instrumentation on a daily basis. Viral load testing, HSV, and Mycoplasma genitalium, previously run on a different manufacturer’s aging instrumentation or screened by third-party send-out, was recently transitioned to the Hologic Panther instrument platform. Additionally, demand for SARS-CoV-2 screening has remained available at the Public Health Laboratory during the pandemic, requiring COVID-19 patient specimens to be run on the Hologic instrumentation. The Contra Costa Public Health Lab is actively using a secondary Purchase Order (#023650) with Hologic for all COVID-19 related expenses.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the purchase order amendment is not approved, the Contra Costa Public Health Laboratory will be unable to purchase the test reagents to incorporate additional STI screening, when necessary, as per CDC recommendations.
