NIGP 47529: Diabetes Test Kits (Including Syringes)

NIGP 47529 Diabetes Test Kits (Including Syringes) is an Item code that covers diagnostic testing supplies and related collection equipment used primarily by criminal justice agencies and community corrections departments for offender drug screening and specimen collection. State and local governments under this code procure testing supplies including multi-panel immunoassay screening kits, confirmation testing reagents (LC/MS/MS or GC/MS compatible), oral fluid and hair testing supplies, and specimen collection equipment including syringes and associated materials. Issuing bodies are predominantly county community supervision and corrections departments; the recent opportunity landscape shows limited activity in this specific Item code, with a single representative solicitation from Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department in Texas.

Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department issued RFP 2026-327 on July 9, 2026, for offender specimen collection and drug testing services with a response deadline of July 23, 2026. The scope encompasses staffing two collection sites in Plano and McKinney (Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., plus five Saturdays annually), operating an Interactive Voice Response randomized testing notification system, performing immunoassay screening with LC/MS/MS or GC/MS confirmation, and offering alternative methodologies including oral fluid and hair testing, with approximately 25,031 annual tests comprising 5-panel and 6-panel screens and ancillary testing. The estimated contract value is $600,000 over two years commencing September 1, 2026, with three optional one-year renewals, with pricing submitted on a per-test basis under three service models (screening only, confirmation after screening, or automatic confirmation of positives). The successful vendor must maintain lab certification from SAMHSA, Texas DPS, or CAP. Evaluation will score vendor understanding (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), client references (15 points), and cost (30 points), with optional Phase 2 demonstrations and interviews worth up to 30 points. Funding derives from Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division appropriations subject to annual availability, with anticipated award date August 10, 2026.
