Wisconsin's Newborn Screening (NBS) Laboratorywithin the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) is a statewide program that tests over 66,000 babies each year for a panel of congenital disorders. Many of these disorders can lead to both mental and physical disabilities, and possibly even death of the newborn, if testing, identification, and treatment are not initiated within a precise window of time. Any delay can lead to devastating outcomes. Therefore, the timely transport of newborn screening specimens from the hospitals/clinics/midwifery locations to the WSLH is critically important.Specimens collected on a given day must be transported within 24 hours to the WSLH; delays in transport

are unacceptable. Accountability, tracking, and quality assurance are essential to ensure that every specimen is delivered to the WSLH; missing or lost specimens are unacceptable. To accomplish this task, excellent communication between hospitals/clinics/midwives, the courier, and the WSLH must be maintained.CONTRACT #DESCRIPTION22-5208COURIER SERVICES FOR WI STATE LAB OF HYGIENE NEWBORN SCREENING SPECIMENSCONTRACT ORIGIN:ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:UW-Madison Purchasing Services 21 N Park St, 5th Floor Madison, WI 53715-1218UW-Madison users contact: Marty Rostermundt (608) 890-3428 marty.rostermundt@wisc.edu Non-UW-Madison users contact: Vendor RepresentativeCOOPERATIVE PURCHASING:YESCONTRACT TERM:April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2025, with automatic renewal extensions to March 31, 2027, unless amended, cancelled or rebid.Vendor(s) Purple Mountain Solutions, Inc. dba Gold Cross Courier 11786 15th Ave. Chippewa Falls, WI 54729 PHONE #EMAILSales Representative: Dave Prock715/ 839-9989dprock@goldcrosscourier.comOrdering/Expediting: Dispatch715/ 839-9989dispatch@goldcrosscourier.comInvoice Information: Heather Lemm715/ 861-1352hlemm@goldcrosscourier.comReturns: Dispatch715/ 839-9989dispatch@goldcrosscourier.comSupplier Diversity Reporting: Heather Lemm715/ 861-1352hlemm@goldcrosscourier.comWebsite: www.purplemountainsolutions.comCommodity Code962-24Federal Employee ID # (FEIN)27-2170688F.O.B.“D” F.O.B.
