Description

The Minnesota Department of Health intends to enter a single-source agreement with the College of American Pathologists for proficiency testing panels used by its Public Health Laboratory. Participation in a proficiency testing program is mandatory under 42 CFR 493.801 to maintain CLIA certification for testing patient specimens. The agency states that the required proficiency testing materials are available only through the College of American Pathologists because of the laboratory's test offerings, validated sample types, and required panel compositions. This posting is a single-source notification rather than a request for bids or proposals; no solicitation documents are available for download. The posting states that vendor submissions are completed through the State of Minnesota Supplier Portal, but the opportunity does not require submissions.
