JPMC Collection Cups Random Drug Testing

The Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) is issuing a Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) for specimen collection cups used in random drug testing under Bid Number B-47180. The procurement seeks multi-panel drug testing collection cups capable of simultaneously detecting substances like amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, and opiates, with testing mechanisms aligned to Health and Human Services (HHS) standards. These collection cups must provide test results within five minutes, include a temperature strip, and require no additional equipment or preparation. The contract will be a five-year agreement with a potential maximum term of ten years, available to all governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies. Potential bidders must submit electronic proposals through BidBuy by June 24, 2025, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for June 5, 2025, at 10:00am Central Time via Webex. Vendors must possess FDA 510(k) approval for in-vitro diagnostic use, maintain a CLIA waiver certification, and demonstrate testing accuracy with Positive and Negative Predictive Values of 95% or higher. The State intends to award a single contract to the lowest cost responsive and responsible bidder, with cups to be packaged in cases of 25.

The solicitation includes Business Enterprise Program (BEP) and Veteran Small Business Participation (VSBP) goals, both currently set at 0.0%, indicating minimal restrictions on vendor participation. Vendors must be established manufacturers or authorized dealers/distributors and provide documentation including authorized dealer letters, independent laboratory test results, and product performance proof. The contract requires vendors to complete comprehensive vendor disclosure forms through the Illinois Procurement Gateway, including certifications of registration status, potential conflicts of interest, and compliance with state procurement regulations. Minimum order requirements are set at $250 with F.O.B. destination delivery, and pricing will remain firm for the first year with potential limited annual adjustments based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index. While no specific funding source is explicitly identified, the contract notes potential use of federal funds. The contract includes standard provisions for insurance, compliance, background checks, and performance standards, with vendors required to submit detailed annual contract usage reports.
