The successful bidder must have laboratory-approved standard operating procedures at the time of proposal. In addition, successful bidders must be actively participating in interlaboratory-performance evaluation programs. Prior to award to the suppliers, the supplier's facilities, staff, quality assurance program and standard operating procedures will be assessed by the MK-Ferguson Quality Department.
