BACKGROUND

The Michigan State Police (MSP), Forensic Science Division (FSD), is a fully accredited laboratory. In order to maintain this accreditation, MSP FSD is subject to proficiency testing requirements. Annual proficiency tests are provided to the analytical sta of MSP FSD and semi-annual proficiency tests are provided to the DNA analytical sta . These tests are required by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and the FBI Quality Assurance Standards in order to maintain international laboratory accreditation. MSP has seven forensic laboratories, which have been accredited since 1985, and these tests are needed to maintain accreditation, as well as allow FSD to continue to apply for and receive Federal Grant Funding.

SCOPE

The Contractor must provide Deliverables/Services and sta , and otherwise do all things necessary for, or incidental to, the performance of work as contained in Schedule A, Statement of Work, Requirements and Schedule B, Price Proposal. Tests to be administered and scored include, but are not limited to: Seized Drugs Analysis, Latent Prints Examination, Latent Print Processing, Questioned Documents Examination, Handwriting Examination, Footwear Imprint Analysis, Tire Tracks Analysis, Ignitable Liquid Identification, Fiber Analysis, Paint Analysis, Glass Analysis, Bloodstain Pattern Analysis , Blood Alcohol Analysis, Toxicology Drug Blood Analysis, Breath Alcohol Analysis, DNA Analysis, Parentage Analysis, DNA Databasing, Body Fluid Identification, Firearms Evidence Examination, Toolmark Impression Analysis, Serial Number Restoration, Gunshot Residue Distance Determination.

Requirements

The purpose of this Contract is to enable MSP to purchase forensic proficiency tests from the Contractor. Contractor must be an ANAB approved provider of these tests. MSP will select and order the tests that meet their requirements within Contractor enrollment deadlines and test availability. The content, conduct, and scheduling of tests and reports is determined by Contractor in compliance with ANAB guidelines.

Each test distributed by the test provider requires that the analytical sta at MSP take the test and submit the results by a specific deadline (varies throughout the year).

Once the test is submitted to the test provider, the Contractor must evaluate the test and send the results to ANAB to meet accreditation requirements. The accreditation standards of MSP require that all analysts in the Forensic Science Division are required to take at least one proficiency test per year in the forensic discipline in which they conduct casework. All DNA scientists are required to take two tests per year according to the FBI Quality Assurance Guidelines. All Proficiency Tests must be available and completed in accordance with the ANAB requirements.
