Acquisition Plan Action ID:____35C250-19-AP-5140_________________

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office, VISN 10, 2780

Airport Drive, Columbus, OH 43219-1834 and Chillicothe VA Medical Center, 17273 State Route 104, Chillicothe, OH 45601-9718. Purchase request 538-19-4-775-0053 is applicable.

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

Connect Clinitek Status+ point-of-care meters to current and existing RALS software through purchase of the Clinitek Status Connect Module. Abbott Alere Informatics Quote # 122-013102-019B received

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The Vendor has a program for connecting their Clinitek Status+ meter to their RALS ((Remote Automated Laboratory Systems) software so that Veteran test results automatically upload to their CPRS Medical Records. Device: For one Siemens Healthineers Clinitek Status Connect Module, six Meters / Instruments/ Analyzers, to include System Support Model, one hospital utilizes RALS – Web3 Browser Based Remote Access, and one results interface: LIS HL7 Un-Solicited Results brings device. The original license term cost reflects 10% discount for 5+ year annualized pay on contract amount for license / implementation / training.

RALS is already in use at Chillicothe VAMC with the ROCHE CoaguChek XS Plus meter. Adding the Clinitek Status+ meter would involve purchase of this specific Clinitek Status Connect Module.

Justification of the Need: To connect remote Clinitek Status+ point-of-care meters located at the six area CBOC sites (Athens, Cambridge, Lancaster, Marietta, Portsmouth, Wilmington) with RALS software currently in use by the Laboratory Ancillary Testing department. Procurement of the RALS-Web3 Clinitek Status Connect Module is required to maintain the same level of Veteran care as other point-of-care tests. The Clinitek Status+ meters will not be placed into service until connectivity is in place. The Clinitek Status+ will provide test results while the Veteran is in the Clinic, allowing the Provider to engage the Veteran in discussion regarding their care and allow for guided conversation and treatment plans. Connecting the Clinitek Status+ meters to RALS software will capture all Veteran point-of-care tests performed on the meter and will satisfy a Joint Commission requirement for hospitals to maintain records for waived testing results in the Veteran's medical records (WT.05.01.01). This 2237 is for year 1 of the 5+ year Annualized Payment Schedule.
