RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with Hologic, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000 for the purchase of COVID-19 related laboratory testing supplies, for the period from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this purchase order will result in annual expenditures of up to $2,500,000 and will be funded by the American Rescue Plan Act revenues or FEMA reimbursements.

BACKGROUND:

Demand for SARS-CoV-2 screening has remained high at the Public Health Laboratory during the pandemic, requiring many COVID-19 patient specimens to be run on the Hologic instrumentation. Delay in processing this purchase order is due to administrative delays associated with establishing separate purchase orders with Hologic, Inc. for COIVD-19 and other routine Public Health Laboratory supplies.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the purchase order is not approved, the Contra Costa Public Health Laboratory would not have COVID-19 related laboratory testing supplies.
