About this file
This document is an attachment to a request for quotation (RFQ) from the Department of Veterans Affairs for viral transport medium and flocked nasopharyngeal swab kits. The RFQ seeks weekly deliveries over six months of 5,000 kits total to six VA medical centers in California and Arizona. Each kit should contain a nylon and flocked nasopharyngeal swab scored to break at 75-100mm, along with a 3ml screw-top tube of transport medium containing antibiotic and antifungal ingredients at a non-refrigerated six-month shelf life. The medium should provide a pH-balanced environment containing sugar, amino acids, and bovine serum albumin while excluding guanidinium thiocyanate and ethanol. The preferred packaging is an individual sterile kit containing the swab and medium together.
