Due Diligence Notice for At-Home COVID-19 Testing

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), is conducting an expedited emergency procurement to establish a Master Agreement for at-home and on-site self-administered COVID-19 testing and related services. The intent is to expand access to COVID-19 surveillance testing across the state, including for state agencies, municipal entities, and school districts. The required services include physician ordering, test kit delivery, specimen collection, laboratory processing, result reporting, and data integration with the Massachusetts Virtual Epidemiologic Network. Vendors must provide detailed pricing information for various service tiers, such as at-home unsupervised testing, at-home bulk shipping, and on-site vendor-supervised testing, with per-test costs ranging from $89.70 to $124.26. Responses are due by September 29, 2020, and EOHHS reserves the right to contract with additional vendors offering comparable or better value.

This procurement is open to all qualified vendors, and EOHHS is not designating any set-aside requirements. The current intent is to contract with Vault Medical Services, P.A., but EOHHS is posting this notice to determine if there are any other interested and qualified vendors. The maximum daily testing volume across all offerings is 10,000 tests, and EOHHS has not provided an estimated award value or budget range for this contract opportunity.
