B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

Background

Use of Quality Control (QC) products is fundamental to the mission of the clinical laboratory. It is required to determine the validity of clinical laboratory results. Bio-Rad Quality Control products have been used in the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (CTVHCS) laboratories for years with excellent results. Switching to a different manufacturer would require re-validation of equipment and re-writing of procedures.

Objectives

The CTVHCS is requesting procurement of a firm-fixed price contract for Bio-Rad Quality QC material and Bio-Rad QC software to be utilized at CTVHCS to include the Olin E Teague VA Medical Center Temple, TX; Doris Miller VA Medical Center Waco, TX; and VA Outpatient Clinic Austin, TX.

Scope

The vendor shall provide Bio-Rad quality control products for daily validation of clinical testing and Bio-Rad quality control software for all of the testing facilities in CTVHCS.

Period of Performance

See Price/Cost Schedule.

Tasks/ Deliverables/ Supplies

The vendor shall provide the listed supplies in the chart on a as needed basis to the facility placing the request and deliver to the requesting facility.

Delivery Addresses:

VA Medical Center Olin E Teague P&LMS Laboratory Building 163, Room 1D102 1901 Veterans Memorial Drive Temple, Texas 76504

VA Medical Center Doris Miller P&LMS Laboratory Building 4, Room 1D157F 4800 Memorial Drive Waco, Texas 76711
