2 CONTRACT OBJECTIVE

Boise VAMC Transfusion Services requires red blood cell reagents that meet strict quality control and compliance standards for patient testing. These reagents are essential for safely matching donated blood products to recipients who need them for life-saving treatments—a process carried out exclusively in the Transfusion Services Department. The vendor is responsible for supplying quality control check cells as well as antibody identification panel cells to fulfill these requirements and support effective patient care.

4 SCOPE

5-year agreement. Base Year Period of Performance: 12/01/26-11/30/27. Transfusion Medicine supports all major hospital departments, including Emergency, Surgery, Oncology, and Medical Units. Without a dedicated Transfusion Medicine Department, these units cannot operate effectively. Each VAMC needs its own department, as services are site-specific across the VISN.

5 SPECIFIC TASKS

5.1 Ordering and Supply

The vendor must keep track of the lot numbers and expiration dates for each reagent provided to the Boise VAMC Blood Bank. Since these reagents are made from cellular material, they expire quickly. The vendor should send the new

lot number shortly before the old one expires to ensure the Blood Bank always has the necessary reagents for matching blood products.

5.2 Quality and Standards

The vendor shall supply the Transfusion Service with red blood cells reagents that meet the current standards and/or regulations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the Joint Commission (TJC), and the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) to ensure patient safety.

5.3 Packaging, Packing and Shipping

Reagents are packaged and shipped to be received within the identified storage temperature of 2-8◦ C. They typically have an expiration date of 3-4 weeks upon arrival, and the next consecutive lot number will arrive within two days of the
