Drug and Alcohol Testing Products

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, awarded a term contract to Confirm Biosciences, Inc., a San Diego, California-based supplier, for the provision of drug and alcohol testing products. Specifically, the contract covers 8-panel urinalysis drug testing cups manufactured by Healgen Scientific, featuring temperature strips, leak-proof screw-on lids, built-in validity screens, and expiration date labeling. The initial purchase order, issued January 21, 2026, encompasses 80 cases at a unit price of $51.25 per case, for a cumulative contract value of $4,100.00. Delivery is scheduled to the Stiles Unit Supply facility in Beaumont, Texas, with an acceptable response order window of four days from the issuance date.

Under Term Contract 193-A2, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, procured these testing materials for exclusive use by the state agency. The contracting organization is located in Huntsville, Texas, with ordering and accounts payable functions managed through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division. The State of Texas claimed exemption from federal excise taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4) in connection with this procurement. While the contract award date is listed as January 21, 2026, the stated completion date of September 30, 2025, appears inconsistent with the purchase order documentation and may reflect a data entry discrepancy.
