About this file
This is Amendment #1 to a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Purchasing Services for the procurement of Chlamydia/Gonorrhea/Trichomonas/HSV test kits and instrumentation. The original RFB 20-5880 was issued on March 6, 2020, with a bid due date of March 11, 2020. The amendment was issued to address questions submitted by potential bidders. According to clarifications provided in the amendment, the University currently performs Chlamydia/Gonorrhea/Trichomonas/HSV (CTGC) testing five days per week (Monday through Friday), with testing volumes reaching approximately 400 specimens per day during STD Outreach activities, though this frequency is irregular. The RFB includes requirements for 2,500 Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) tests and 2,500 Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) tests; however, the University clarified that it is not currently performing TV or MG testing and plans to validate these assays upon acquisition of a new platform. Bid prices and terms were to remain firm for sixty days from the bid opening date.
The amendment contained responses to bidder inquiries clarifying the testing schedule and current testing capabilities. All bidders were required to certify that they had not engaged in collusion, had independently developed their bids, and had no conflicts of interest with the University. Bidders were also required to certify non-debarment status. The contact for questions regarding the bid was Carla Parker, UW Purchasing, located at 21 N Park Street, Suite 6101, Madison, Wisconsin 53715-1218, reachable by phone at 608-262-4516 or email at carla.parker@wisc.edu. Bidders were instructed that failure to acknowledge receipt of the amendment would result in the assumption that their original bid met all conditions of the amendment.

Answers to Questions received from Bidders
Q. 1 In regards to Attachment B, 4 - How many days a week are you currently performing the CTGC testing? At 400 tests per day, 5 days per week, your annual volume would be 104,000 tests. What is your testing schedule?
A1: Currently we run that assays 5 days per week (Monday – Friday). When STD Outreach activities occur our volume could be 400 specimens in a day but that does not happen frequently.
Q. 2 The RFB includes 2500 TV and 2500 MG. How many of these tests are performed on the same patient sample and how many are done as separate orders?
A2: I cannot answer this question as we are not currently performing TV or MG testing. We plan on validating these assays once we have a new platform.
