The Kansas Department of Health and Environmental Laboratories (KHEL) is conducting a competitive procurement for certified environmental sampling bottles to be used by its Organic Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry Units. The Request for Proposal (RFP) event number EVT0010589 seeks vendors to supply a comprehensive range of pre-cleaned and pre-certified sampling bottles, including various glass and plastic containers with specific preservation chemistries. These bottles will support environmental testing and analysis, with requirements for multiple container types ranging from 40 milliliters to 1 liter in capacity, including amber and clear glass bottles, Nalgene HDPE bottles, and specialized soil handling equipment. The procurement is structured as a five-year contract, running from the date of award through March 31, 2031, with deliveries to be made F.O.B. inside the Environmental Chemistry Laboratory in Topeka, Kansas. Key evaluation criteria will include product quality, performance, vendor capability, and overall pricing. The solicitation timeline requires written questions to be submitted by December 17, 2025, with final proposals due on January 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. Vendors must provide individual and bulk pricing, along with a certificate of analysis demonstrating no contaminants for specific test applications.
The procurement includes several set-aside and qualification provisions that may provide competitive advantages to certain vendors. Bidders may claim eligibility for Kansas Bidder Preference programs, specifically the Disabled Veteran Owned Business category or the Certified Business category, provided they submit appropriate supporting documentation. All vendors must submit a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue, an Immigration Reform and Control Act certification form, a Boycott of Israel form, and a Sexual Harassment form with their bid responses. The state reserves the right to award multiple contracts to ensure vendor performance and inventory availability, potentially splitting the procurement across different vendors based on their specific capabilities. While no specific contract value or budget range is explicitly stated, the detailed cost sheet suggests a comprehensive procurement covering twenty distinct bottle configurations with potential for significant annual purchasing. Vendors must provide a standard 30-day warranty, and prices are expected to remain firm throughout the five-year contract period. The State of Kansas is exempt from state sales and federal excise taxes, and all shipping, handling, and insurance costs will be the vendor's responsibility.
