The Sedgwick County Board of Bids and Contracts approved a five-year maintenance and support agreement with Hologic Sales and Service LLC for $145,000 to cover technical support, maintenance and repairs for the county's Hologic Panther instrument.
Lee Barrier, speaking on behalf of the Health Department, said the Panther instrument runs testing for county family planning, STI clinics and contracted community health clinics and provides capacity to expand services if needed. "This Hologic service agreement is for technical support, maintenance, and any repairs on the labs Hologic Panther instrument," Barrier said.
Board members confirmed this action covered maintenance and support only, not purchase of a new instrument. A motion to accept Hologic's quote was moved and seconded and passed on roll call.
The meeting record did not include contract start date details beyond the five-year period or a line-item budget allocation; staff will proceed with contract execution.
