About this file
This is an Addendum No. 01 to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the Office of State Procurement for the State of Louisiana, Division of Administration, on behalf of the Acadiana Area Human Services District (AAHSD) for drug abuse screening services under RFx Number 3000025331. The addendum revises critical solicitation dates and specifications. The deadline for vendors to submit written inquiries has been extended from October 28, 2025, to November 4, 2025. The bid opening date and time has been rescheduled from November 4, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Central Time to November 13, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Central Time. The contract will provide comprehensive drug testing services including specimen collection, transportation, laboratory analysis, and medical review officer functions for clients receiving outpatient and intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment across AAHSD's five behavioral health clinic locations. The contract term is 12 months beginning from the date of award, with potential renewals for two additional 12-month periods, not to exceed 36 months total. Attachment B - Specifications has been replaced in its entirety with revised specifications incorporated into this addendum.
The addendum addresses five vendor inquiries received by the October 21, 2025, deadline. The incumbent laboratory provider is identified as DISA Global Solutions, Inc., though no current active contract exists; interested vendors may contact Alex Jackson for historical bid tab information. Vendors must obtain Certified Substance Abuse Program Administration (C-SAPA) certification no later than six months after contract implementation through CCDAPP.ORG, with this correction clarifying an obsolete website reference previously included in the specifications. The anticipated annual volume includes 1,400 11-panel drug screens, 100 12-panel screens, and additional specialized tests such as GC/MS confirmations and synthetic cannabis screenings, with results required within 48-72 hours. The contract will be awarded on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all specifications. All vendors are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum or submit revisions prior to the new bid opening date; acknowledgments or revisions must be delivered by mail, courier, or fax to the Office of State Procurement at 1201 N. 3rd Street, Suite 2-160, Baton Rouge, LA 70802, or faxed to (225) 342-9756.
