- Description
- The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 22, located at 4811 Airport Plaza Drive, Long Beach, CA 90815 is issuing this Notice of Intent (NOI) to inform industry contractors of the Government s intent to execute a Sole Source Award under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), specifically FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services. The intended Contractor is College of American Pathologist located at 325 Waukegan Road, Northfield, IL 60093. The Greater Los Angeles Healthcare Medical Center (GLA) laboratories requires a yearly requirement to be accredited by The Joint Commission. As part of this requirement, GLA laboratory must comply with requirements for periodic calibration and calibration verification of its testing instrumentation. GLA must also perform calibration verification and linearity and analytical measurement range verification of the test results. The surveys being requested for purchase from the College of American Pathologists (CAP) provide suitable materials for this purpose, as well as assessment of results using well-defined evaluation protocols. The rationale basis for the sole source acquisition is that CAP (Large Business) is the only Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved responsible source that can provide the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the Calibration Verification/Linearity Instrumentation Programs that meets the linearity testing guidelines established to ensure compliant with CLIA federal guidelines and to ensure the Lab s testing procedures are consistent with established FDA, CLIA, and VHA regulations. CAP is the sole source manufacturer and distributor of CAP validation and linearity instrumentation materials currently being used by the Greater Los Angeles Healthcare Medical Center Laboratory to satisfy their requirements for scheduled calibration verification and verification of the analytical measurement range as specified in the current CLIA licensing requirements and The Joint Commission (TJC) Laboratory accreditation requirements under 42 CFR 493.1255(bX3), as well to satisfy requirements to maintain their current CLIA accreditation. CAP sells directly to the end users facilities and as such, there are no agents or dealers authorized to represent this product.
