RFX-3150006087 SOLE SOURCE GOLD STANDARD, CORP..pdf

This is a Sole Source Determination document from the Mississippi Public Health Department (MSDH) for Gold Standard Diagnostics, Corp. as the sole source provider of preventative services, parts, reagents, and software for the AIX1000 system. The contract has a 5-year term with an anticipated contract amount of $41,250.00. The contract involves maintenance and support services including phone/online support during business hours (6AM-5PM PST), three service visits for repairs, one annual preventative maintenance visit, priority scheduling, and software updates/modifications as needed.

The pricing includes a daily rate of $3,750 for instrument service (discounted from $5,000) and a 5-year AIX1000 Gold Service Agreement for $37,500 (discounted from $40,000). The cost of the preventative maintenance agreement represents 11% of the new instrument value of $71,417. MSDH determined this sole source procurement was necessary as Gold Standard Diagnostics is the sole manufacturer and certified service vendor of the AIX1000 system, which requires manufacturer maintenance to meet regulatory requirements and maintain CLIA accreditation. The agreement includes provisions for uncovered additional services at $1,000 per day and non-contract services at 35% of Gold level agreement rate or $2,500 per day, whichever is greater.
