Drug Testing Services

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is soliciting bids to establish a blanket purchase order for synthetic marijuana and cannabinoid confirmation testing (K2/Spice/etc.) of urine specimens using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry across Zones 1–5 in Texas, with bids due August 13, 2026. Amendment 1 was posted July 30, 2026; vendors must review updated solicitation details on the TDCJ Procurement Portal at https://tdcj.bonfirehub.com.

The scope covers GC/MS confirmation testing services for TDCJ institutional and community supervision testing requirements. Pricing will be established on a per-test basis. Vendors must demonstrate capability to perform GC/MS analysis and maintain appropriate laboratory certifications and accreditations meeting TDCJ's quality assurance standards. The BPO structure allows multiple awards across the five designated zones, enabling TDCJ to issue individual purchase orders against the blanket agreement as testing needs arise. The contract will specify performance standards, result turnaround times, and chain-of-custody requirements.

Specification data sheets are required as part of the submittal. Vendors must access the TDCJ Procurement Portal to review the complete solicitation materials, including Amendment 1, revised specifications, pricing terms, and submission requirements. Haley Seils, CTCD, is the primary procurement contact at Haley.Seils@tdcj.texas.gov.
