MSSISSIPPI STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
Notice of Proposed Sole Source Purchase #0301-0129 RFx # 3150006057
The Mississippi State Department of Health anticipates purchasing the item(s) listed below as a sole source purchase. Anyone objecting to this purchase shall follow the procedures outlined below.
Commodity or commodities to be purchased (make, model, description):
The Mississippi Public Health Laboratory (MPHL) currently performs the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT Plus) to aid in the detection of M. tuberculosis infection. QFT is an interferon γ (IFNγ) release assay (IGRA) which measures the cell-mediated response to specific TB antigens in whole blood. QFT is a modern alternative to the 110-year-old tuberculin skin test (or Mantoux test) and is highly accurate and unaffected by Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination (2–4). Patients may be tested in a single patient visit, with objective results, eliminating the need for two-step testing that is required by the tuberculin skin test. The MPHL would like to purchase reagents that are FDA approved to perform IGRA testing o-site on human patients using the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus test.
