Live Remote Oral Rapid Drug Testing

Fulton County is pursuing a sole-source procurement for same-day live remote oral fluid rapid drug and alcohol testing services through Micro-Distributing, Inc. for its Accountability Court (FCAC). The contract will span from January to June 2026, with an anticipated volume of approximately 100 testing kits and associated services per month. The specific services include providing HIPAA-compliant web-based testing kits, remote smartphone testing appointments, customer support, and a consolidated activity reporting system. Vendors interested in challenging the sole-source determination must submit an Offer to Perform electronically through BidNet Direct by October 31, 2025, at 11:00 AM, accompanied by sufficient documentation for county review. The pricing structure is detailed, with $5.50 per rapid oral fluid home drug and alcohol testing kit, $30 per shipping order, $35 for weekday live proctoring, $85 for weekend live proctoring, and test result reporting included in the unit price. The total anticipated quantity is 600 testing kits, with 450 weekday and 150 weekend live proctoring sessions. The procurement is uniquely justified by Micro-Distributing's patented eRAMx phone application and testing protocol, which the county believes makes the company singularly qualified for this service.

This procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. The contract is funded through a grant from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, with a total estimated spending request of $31,950.00. The sole-source justification is predicated on two primary factors: the uniqueness of Micro-Distributing's product and the continuation of existing work. The Department of Purchasing will conduct a compliance review, which includes verifying the contractor's authorization to do business in Georgia, potential E-Verify compliance, and checking federal funding exclusion lists. Interested parties can contact Janelle Tanner, Assistant Purchasing Agent, at 404-612-7969 or janelle.tanner@fultoncountyga.gov for additional information. The procurement process allows for multiple potential outcomes, including awarding the sole-source contract, issuing a purchase order/contract, or potentially competitively bidding the project if the sole-source justification is not approved. No incumbent vendors other than Micro-Distributing, Inc. are mentioned in the documentation.
