Newborn Screening Blood Spot Cards For Early Detection

The Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services Newborn Screening group in Virginia seeks to procure specialized devices used by hospitals, midwives, and pediatricians to collect newborn screening blood samples shortly after birth. These devices involve unique filter paper cards (Revvity 226/Ahlstrom) designed to capture blood samples from newborns within the first 48 hours of life. The cards must be printed with Virginia-specific NBS templates and be fully compatible with the laboratory’s existing Revvity Panthera Puncher and Revvity DBS Puncher equipment. Additionally, the cards need to include serial numbers and barcodes that integrate seamlessly with the current Virginia NBS program, supporting both initial and repeat newborn screening tests. This solicitation, titled "Newborn Screening Blood Spot Cards For Early Detection," is managed by the Virginia Department of General Services and is open for response until January 28, 2026. The procurement aims to ensure timely and accurate newborn screening across Virginia to assist in early detection of health conditions. Vendors interested in submitting proposals or requiring more information can contact Rachel Beverly at the provided email and phone number. The place of performance is the Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services in Virginia.
