This addendum document pertains to RFP DOS 2026-16 issued by the New Hampshire Department of Safety, Office of Highway Safety, for a single-county phlebotomy program serving Strafford County. The RFP announces the cancellation of the entire solicitation in its entirety, with Annie Bullis identified as the agency contact.

The original procurement sought a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive legal blood draw services for suspected impaired driving cases with 24/7/365 availability and guaranteed 60-minute response time at designated draw locations including police departments, jails, and secure facilities. The program anticipated processing approximately 500 cases annually and required certified phlebotomists equipped with appropriate non-expired blood collection supplies and responsible for training, certification, liability coverage, transportation, and biohazardous waste disposal. The evaluation criteria allocated 60 points for technical merit (20 points for vendor business and service experience, 40 points for phlebotomist experience and qualifications) and 40 points for price proposals. A vendor conference was scheduled for February 3, 2026, at 11:00 AM via Microsoft Teams, with vendor inquiries due February 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM, and proposals due March 3, 2026, at 3:30 PM. The contract term was set at one year from Governor and Executive Council approval. The vendor was required to maintain liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, obtain a Certificate of Good Standing from New Hampshire, and provide Workers' Compensation coverage. A contractual requirement mandated 25% cost-sharing contribution toward program operations, with pricing structured as flat-rate fees for each blood draw response and court testimony appearance, subject to quarterly reporting requirements.
