Acquisition de trousses pour surveillance des virus respiratoires

Description: The Institut national de santé publique du Québec, through the Laboratoire de santé publique du Québec, has published an open notice of intent—not a competitive call for tenders—to acquire 100 NxTAG Respiratory Pathogen Panel v2 (IVD-CA) kits from Diasorin (Luminex). The kits detect 21 respiratory pathogens and are used in influenza vaccine-effectiveness and influenza-related mortality and morbidity surveillance, while the institute cites validation costs and operational risks associated with switching products. Interested suppliers may demonstrate that they meet the requirements by 3:00 p.m. Quebec time on November 13, 2026; responses will help determine whether the institute launches a public tender or proceeds with the intended direct award.
