Notes:

This is a single source posting notification; there are no solicitation documents for download. Note this posting is not a Request for Bid (RFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP).

The Minnesota Department of Health intends to enter an agreement with College of American Pathologists, for the purchase of Proficiency Testing (PT) panels. Participation in PT program is mandatory per 42 CFR 493.801 in order to keep our CLIA certification to continue testing and sending out results on patient specimens. This has been deemed a single source, as The PHL participates in a proficiency testing program in accordance with CMS. The proficiency testing materials listed on the attachment are only available through the CAP based on the PHL test offering and validated sample types. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid website has a list of all approved PT providers for 2027 with product offering, and only College of American Pathologists is approved, and CAP is the only provider that meets the specific needs for the PT materials being ordered, either because the entirety of the panel is unique to CAP or because the panel composition meets PHL's specific needs.

If there are any concerns regarding this single source opportunity, contact Seth Rasmussen at seth.rasmussen@state.mn.us by October 08, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time. Include the reference number and title of the posting in the subject line. Or you may call the HelpLine at 651.296.2600 (MN Relay Service for persons with speech or hearing disabilities: 711 or 1.800.627.3529) or fax your request to 651.297.3996, ATTN: HelpLine.
