QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (08/05/15)

Q. It is my understanding that the published cut off for AMP is 1000 ng/ml and Benzoylecgonine (COC) is 300 ng/mg. Can you please clear these cut off limits?

A. The national urinalysis contract references that all urinalysis testing must be done at the same levels of sensitivity in the national contract. Therefore, the “cut off limits” as noted in the RFQ, are consistent with the cut off levels as prescribed in the national contract.

Q. What is the price you were currently paying?

A. For FY 2015', 12,000 units (NIDT’s) were purchased for a grand total of $31,800.00 from Phamatech Inc.
