Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this Notice. I. SCOPE: The intent of the Amarillo Veterans Affairs Health Care System (AVAHCS) Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Service is to provide accurate laboratory testing and to our Veteran patients and in doing so AVAHCS is requesting the procurement of Quality Control (QC) material in liquid or dehydrated form to validate the precision and accuracy of the laboratory results being generated on the various instruments and that it is compatible with the QC software program that is currently installed to monitor progress. AVAHCS is also requesting the purchase of annual subscription services to provide real time statistical evaluation of laboratory quality control material which is currently in use as well as connectivity support. II. BACKGROUND AVAHCS is required to participate in inter-laboratory quality control programs (IQAP) with other laboratories utilizing the same instrumentation and lot numbers of reagents by processing the quality control material. The QC data is generated by processing the QC material through the instrumentation as though they were actual patients being tested. This data is then sent through a software program known as Bio Rad Unity Real Time. This software program can track QC material results being processed on a day to day basis, collate the information, submit this data to the quality control manufacturer via e-mail, and the results, following data reduction, are emailed back to the laboratory. The QC software program currently in use allows the laboratory staff to apply statistical rules to the QC data reports and assess them against other laboratories in a real-time environment using the same QC material and the same QC material lot numbers. The primary purpose of the results comparison is to closely monitor the performance of the laboratory analytical process and to ensure valid results are being released to the patient s charts. Quality control material evaluation is mandated by both of our accrediting agencies; the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and the Joint Commission (TJC). III.
