Procurement at MDA prior to
Accreditation
State procurement was a Global system designed
by accountants for accountants.

system that provides a catalog feature and
captures data of interest to Laboratory Managers.
Section 4.6.4
Major Objectives of standard was to:
• Evaluate Suppliers
• Maintain Record of Evaluation
• Program of continued monitoring
Section 4.6.4
Some Questions and Concerns:
• State uses contract vendors
• One contract vendor provides many various critical consumables and supplies
• Where best to build system?
Contract Vendors
Large Contract Vendors are only suppliers if they
provide their own line of critical material.
As problems arise you evaluate that individual
supply or consumable.
Disqualify the contract vendor for that commodity.
Contract Vendors
Use the Vendor performance report stressing the
requirements of the Standard.
This has been and should be sufficient to go “off
contract”
Where Best to Build System?
• Decided to build approved supplier list into our
QMS
• Driven off a FORM which can be downloaded
from our QMS document module.
• Completed form is attached to the vendor file in
the approved supplier list.
• Supplier status is verified when entering orders.
• Process described in SOP.
When Ordering
Requestor orders based on method/Work
Instruction requirements.
Determines if item can affect quality of result.
Verifies if supplier is on the approved list.
When Ordering
Items from suppliers not on the list must be
evaluated after receipt.
Certain suppliers of services that hold
accreditation to ISO17043, ISO17025 or ISO
Guide 34 are generally considered acceptable.
Upon Receipt of Supplies
Item is inspected for package integrity.
Contents are verified against purchase order and
shipping paperwork is initialed and dated by lab
staff.
Added to unit inventory following established
procedures.
Evaluations
Checks are performed per the method or specific
work instructions.
Findings are documented in lab technical records.
Unsatisfactory materials are reported to superviser
who has supplier removed from the approved
supplier list and Filemaker system.
