Historical Testing Volumes.pdf

This is a historical testing volumes document for the State of Nevada's employee drug and alcohol testing program, supporting a Request for Qualifications solicitation for statewide collection and analysis services. The document provides five years of historical testing data (2021-2025) categorized by substance type (alcohol and drug) and testing scenario (pre-employment, post-accident, random selection, follow-up, reasonable cause, and other). Drug testing volumes have consistently exceeded alcohol testing, with annual drug tests ranging from 2,332 to 3,597 and alcohol tests ranging from 205 to 260. The solicitation requires vendors to provide collection and testing services across six employment-related testing scenarios at 34 designated Nevada locations, with mandatory availability of urine, breath, blood, and other bodily substance testing. Proposals were due October 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time via nevadaepro.com, with questions due September 18, 2026. The State intends to award one or more contracts with quarterly vendor enrollment periods beginning April 2027 through November 2028. The contract term is two years with options to renew for two additional one-year extensions at mutual agreement, with contractors required to be fully operational by January 1, 2027.

Vendors must maintain HHS/SAMHSA certification for proposed laboratories, possess a minimum of three years' experience in employment-related drug and alcohol testing, and comply with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation requirements. Contractors must provide 24/7 service availability where included in their award through fixed collection sites, mobile services, or on-call arrangements. Commercial general liability insurance with a minimum $2 million aggregate and $1 million per occurrence is required, with the State named as additional insured. The historical data presented demonstrates consistent and substantial demand for testing services, with combined annual volumes exceeding 3,100 tests at peak demand, informing vendors of anticipated service requirements and operational capacity needs for the contract period.
