This is an RFP Response document from the State of New Hampshire Department of Safety, Office of Highway Safety, soliciting proposals for a single-county phlebotomy program serving Strafford County. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive legal blood draw services for suspected impaired driving cases with 24/7/365 availability and a guaranteed 60-minute response time for phlebotomists at designated locations including police departments, jails, and secure facilities. The vendor must employ certified phlebotomists equipped with appropriate non-expired blood collection supplies and assume full responsibility for training, certification, liability coverage, transportation, and biohazardous waste disposal. The program anticipates processing approximately 500 cases annually. A mandatory vendor conference is scheduled for February 3, 2026, at 11:00 AM via Microsoft Teams, with vendor inquiry deadline of February 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM, and proposal submissions due March 3, 2026, at 3:30 PM. The contract term is set at one year from Governor and Executive Council approval, with bid closing scheduled for March 24, 2026, at 3:30 PM. As of the posting date of January 21, 2026, only one respondent has submitted a proposal.

Evaluation of proposals will be assessed on a 100-point scale comprising technical merit (60 points total: 20 points for vendor business and service experience, and 40 points for phlebotomist experience and qualifications including training plans, quality assurance procedures, and court testimony management) and price proposals (40 points). The vendor must 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 as applicable. Pricing should reflect flat-rate fees for each blood draw response and court testimony appearance, with quarterly reporting requirements documenting calls, response times, draw locations, case numbers, delays, and total costs billed. A contractual requirement mandates that the vendor contribute 25% cost-sharing toward program operations. The RFP documentation does not identify specific set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or current contractors. No specific award value or budget range is listed in the available documentation.
