Background The requirement is to obtain Beckman Coulter Urinalysis Service Contract VISN 2 SOUTH Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Service laboratories are seeking to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement based off of an established Federal Supply Schedule for three types of Urinalysis Analyzers. The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Veterans Integrated Service Network VISN 2 SOUTH Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Services recognize the many advantages of standardization of equipment, bulk purchasing, state-of-the-art technology, and vendor supplied maintenance and repairs. Being limited in budgeted dollars for new equipment, we request the Cost Per Reportable Result (CPRR) method for equipment acquisition (including all consumables, all maintenance needed for normal operations, and peer comparison for QC). This allows pricing per reportable result that includes reagents, controls, calibrators, kits (for tests, controls, calibrators), repeats, dilutions, consumables (e.g., pipettes), and all other items including parts, service, preventive maintenance, except labor. Cost per test and Cost per kit are not acceptable. At the same time, the vendor will clearly define the minimum Full Time Equivalent (FTE) employees required to produce the number of expected test results according to the final equipment distribution and workflow. The ultimate goal is to get the most work done for the lowest cost while maintaining or improving quality and turnaround time.
