Body
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board of Supervisors authorize the Purchasing Manager for Natividad Medical Center (NMC) to execute Amendment No. 6 to the Agreement (A-10620) with Pharmedium Services for Compounding Pharmaceutical Supplies and IV Solution Services at NMC, extending the Agreement to June 3, 2013 and adding $80,000 for a revised total Agreement amount not to exceed $440,000 in the aggregate.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
NMC has had a Service Agreement with Pharmedium since November 15, 2005. The vendor provides compounding services for specific drug items that bear longer stability than if compounded onsite. NMC will need to continue the purchase of these same drugs in order to reduce the waste associated with onsite compounded products due to shorter stability. These compounded products meet the USP797 regulations for compounding and assists NMC with availability of product that can be stored for longer periods. The recommendation is to amend the current Agreement to provide an additional year of services.
