MPA 611 Testing Kit Pricing Sheet.xlsx

This is a cost proposal pricing sheet for the State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases in support of MPA 611, an open enrollment Master Price Agreement for COVID-19 testing kits. The solicitation (OEV24004199) seeks qualified vendors to provide FDA-authorized rapid antigen test kits and laboratory-based Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests to help mitigate community transmission of COVID-19. The MPA has an initial four-year term with options to renew for up to three additional 12-month periods, running from May 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026. Vendors may submit proposals at any time during the open enrollment period, with evaluations conducted on a pass/fail basis. When specific testing needs arise, state agencies will issue mini-bids to qualified vendors requiring detailed pricing quotes and project-specific requirements. The MPA has statewide applicability and allows participation from political subdivisions, institutions of higher education, municipal and state schools, and quasi-public agencies.

Pricing must be quoted at the per-test level regardless of pack size (2-pack, 25-pack, 30-pack, 40-pack, or other configurations), with all prices including applicable taxes, shipping costs, and any other costs incurred to provide the specified goods. Standard shipping charges apply, and the State of Rhode Island will not accept overcharges. Vendors must maintain $1 million in liability coverage, workers compensation, and automobile liability insurance. A 1% contract administrative fee will be assessed on all purchase orders and withheld from vendor payments. There is no guaranteed minimum purchase amount under the MPA. Vendors must complete the cost proposal by providing vendor information, manufacturer details, manufacturer item numbers, and pricing for each test kit type and pack size offered. Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation is strongly emphasized, with vendors required to submit an MBE Participation Acknowledgment Form, and state agencies required to obtain at least one quote from MBE/WBE/VBE certified vendors when available.
