JPMC Collection Cups Random Drug Testing

The Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS), in cooperation with the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a three-year joint purchasing master contract for JPMC Collection Cups for Random Drug Testing. The contract will enable governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies to purchase the collection cups on an as-needed basis. The IFB outlines detailed technical specifications for the cups, including requirements for simultaneous detection of multiple drugs, temperature strips, FDA approval, and minimum accuracy rates. The total estimated quantity over the three-year contract period is 113,250 cups. Bids are due by November 20, 2019, with the initial contract term running for three years with no renewal options, not to exceed a total of ten years. Pricing must be submitted on a per-each basis, subject to an economic adjustment clause tied to the Producer Price Index.

The solicitation has a 1% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal that cannot be waived, and vendors must provide pricing with the BEP participation included. The contract is not subject to a small business set-aside, but vendor utilization plans for minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned small businesses are required if goals are established. The State will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. No incumbent vendors or budget ranges are provided in the information.
