Healthcare Ancillary Services (HASMA) - Instrument Processing Services (RSASQ)

The County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services (DHS) has released a Request for Statement of Ancillary Services Qualifications (RSASQ) to establish a Healthcare Ancillary Services Master Agreement (HASMA) for instrument processing services. This open continuous solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive instrument sterilization and processing services for county healthcare facilities, with an initial response deadline of July 29, 2022, at 12:00 P.M. The procurement aims to create a master contract framework that allows for flexible engagement of multiple vendors capable of delivering high-quality instrument processing services. Prospective vendors must demonstrate compliance with regulatory standards, including OSHA and infection control protocols, and provide detailed evidence of their technical, operational, and financial capabilities. Qualification requirements include specific certifications, equipment capabilities, quality standards, and service delivery requirements for instrument sterilization. Evaluation will be based on demonstrated qualifications rather than competitive bidding, enabling the County to establish relationships with pre-qualified vendors for rapid deployment of instrument processing services across its healthcare system.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. No incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be structured as a multiple-award master agreement, allowing for several qualified vendors to be selected and added to an approved list for ongoing service provision. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the pricing schedule (Appendix C) indicates that vendors must complete a standardized pricing template outlining rates, fees, and cost components for instrument processing services. The open continuous nature of the solicitation suggests ongoing opportunities for qualified firms to submit responses until DHS removes or suspends the opportunity. The master agreement framework will enable the County to issue task orders or statements of work as instrument processing service needs arise, providing flexibility in vendor engagement and service procurement.
