VA MEDICAL CENTER BOISE

500 W FORT STREET

ATTN: FISCAL SERVICE BOISE, ID 83702

41. DEFINITIONS

a. ALLOGENEIC: Blood or blood components drawn from a non-related donor for subsequent transfusion to a patient (synonymous with homologous).

b. ANTIBODY WORK-UP: Serological work-up performed on potential transfusion recipients, per patient per episode (set of examples); may be defined as simple or complex.

c. As Soon As Possible (ASAP) — Shipments of blood products to fill a request for a waiting outpatient, or a non-life threatening need, or to replenish a depleted inventory of a particular blood product which has been used since the previous routine delivery. ASAP orders must be delivered within 4 hours.

d. AUTOLOGOUS: Blood drawn from a donor-patient for subsequent transfusion; in this case, restricted to pre-deposit units of blood, i.e., not including intra-operative or post-operative blood salvage.

e. BLOOD GROUP: ABO Blood group plus the Rho(D) type of the unit, specifically 0+, 0-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-.

f. CMV NEGATIVE: Unit from a donor who has been screened for antibody to Cytomegalovirus and deemed to be negative. Use of CMV negative blood components are indicated in those patients who are undergoing transplantation or are otherwise severely immunocompromised.

g. COMPONENT (BLOOD COMPONENT): Portion of a unit of whole blood which has been physically separated by some mechanical means, e.g., centrifugation.

h. CRYOPRECIPITATE: Plasma component which has been prepared to contain high concentrations of Factor VIII and fibrinogen. It is stored in the frozen state and thawed immediately prior to transfusion. Product is used for the treatment of specific coagulation factor deficiencies, such as von-Willebrand's Disease, hypofibrinogenemia and uremic thrombocytopenia which have been shown to be irresponsive to DDAVP treatment.

i. DERIVATIVE: Portion of a unit of whole blood or blood component which has been chemically separated by some type of fractionation process. Examples include albumin, plasma protein fraction, intravenous gamma globulin, and various coagulation products.

j. FRESH FROZEN PLASMA (FFP): Plasma component that is stored in the frozen state and is thawed immediately prior to transfusion. Used for the treatment of significant multiple coagulation factor deficiencies or congenital factor deficiencies not treatable by cryoprecipitate These may be associated with massive transfusion, severe liver disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hemolytic uremic syndrome, or thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura, but not as a volume expander. Fresh frozen plasma 24 (FP24) is plasma frozen within 24 hours of collection and contains reduced levels of Factor VII and normal levels of Factor V. FP24 may be used interchangeably with FFP unless used to treat Factor VII deficiency.

k. HOMOLOGOUS: Blood or blood component drawn from a non-related donor for subsequent transfusion to a patient (synonymous with allogeneic).

l. IRRADIATED COMPONENT: Blood component that has been subject to a minimum central dose of 2500 cGy of irradiation.

m. LEUKOCYTE-REDUCED BLOOD COMPONENTS: Cellular products prepared by an approved filtration method.

n. PLATELETPHERESIS: Platelet component which is drawn from a donor using apheresis equipment, is stored in the liquid state, and is roughly equivalent to six to eight units of random platelets. Used for the treatment of significant thrombocytopenia as indicated for random platelets; however, it offers the advantage of minimizing donor exposures to prevent the patient from becoming refractory and/or contracting a transfusion transmitted disease.

o. PLATELETS (RANDOM): Platelet component that is prepared from a single unit of whole blood and is stored in the liquid state. Used for the treatment of significant thrombocytopenia associated with a variety of other clinical conditions, including active bleeding, massive transfusion, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and scheduled invasive procedures.

p. RECALL: A request from the supplier of blood component to return a specific unit(s) which was inadvertently issued to the VA medical center, regardless of the reason, or was issued to the VA medical center prior to the receipt of information about a donor which would have prevented such release.

q. RED BLOOD CELLS (RBC): Red cell components that remain in the liquid state, i.e., not frozen, regardless of anticoagulant. Used for the treatment of anemia which is not treated pharmacologically either due to etiology or time constraints.

r. ROUTINE ORDERS: Orders that are generally placed on a regular basis at a pre-established time to provide adequate inventory of specific blood components of specific blood groups.

s. SHELF LIFE: Number of days remaining prior to the expiration date from the date received in the facility.

t. SPECIAL TYPINGS: Typings for RBC antigens other than ABO and Rho(D); performed in order to find red blood cell units appropriate for patients who have developed unexpected antibodies.

u. STANDING ORDER: A type of routine order which allows for shipment of a specific volume of specific blood components according to an established delivery schedule; assists the supplier in projecting volumes of components required in order to improve recruitment and minimize waste.

v. STAT: A need for blood products so acute that a patient's life could be jeopardized if the request for blood products is unfulfilled. STAT orders must be delivered within 60 minutes.

w. VOLUNTEER DONOR: Person who does not receive monetary payment for blood donation. Benefits, such as monetary time off from work, membership in blood assurance programs, and cancellations on non-replacement fees that are not readily convertible to cash, do not constitute monetary payment.

EXTENT OF OBLIGATION: The Items ordered under this agreement are subject to Price Schedule included below. The Government is obligated only to the extent of calls (orders) placed by authorized individuals and the purchase limitations of this IDIQ. Minimum Guarantee is $500.00 with a contract maximum of $750,000.00 over 5 years. (Ref. 52.216-22.)
