- Description
- The Aberdeen Area Indian Health Service is planning a sole-source purchase order with Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics. The Fusion 5,1 and ECi Chemistry Analyzers have capabilities and features that no other current chemistry analyzer is able to provide. The instruments have multiple built-in functions and low maintenance procedures which require minimum hands on time resulting in a cost savings in tech time. The instrument's test menu also allows for the service unit to run more tests in-house for additional cost savings. These are highly complex electronic instruments listing up to $180,000. Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics can supply a service agreement that provides complete maintenance, labor, travels and parts five (5) days per week. Also included are scheduled preventative maintenance visits, software updates and telephone technical support. The service contract represents approximately 12% of the analyzers initial cost. This percentage is utilized in part to calculate the service agreement price. Instrument repairs and service without the contract can cost in the tens of thousands of dollars per visit for parts, travel, and labor using flat fee rates. Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics is the only vendor with trained service engineers that can provide this full service. The Winnebago Indian Health Service is responsible to ensure the Indian Health Hospital located on the Winnebago reservation is providing the services required by the government and utilizing the federal appropriations in accordance to regulations which govern the Indian Health Service. This announcement is a sole-source set-aside, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1. A Sources Sought notice was posted of FedBizOpps on February 12, 2010. No responses were received. Any questions regarding this announcement can be directed to Donna Harwood, Purchasing Agent, Aberdeen Area Indian Health Service at (605) 226-7332. Closing date of this announcement is March 31, 2010.
