On-Site Drug Testing Dip Stick Instruments - Colloidal Gold - DOC

The State of Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for on-site drug testing dip stick instruments utilizing colloidal gold technology. The procurement seeks immunoassay drug testing kits for single and multi-panel drug tests, including tests for substances such as THC, cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamines, opiates, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, PCP, and MDMA. Quantities range from 5 to 571 boxes, with each box containing approximately 25 tests. The contract period is from May 18, 2020 through May 17, 2021, with the option for two additional one-year renewal periods. The RFP requires vendors to provide pricing for individual drug test panels as well as a firm, fixed percentage discount for other available immunoassay colloidal gold non-instrument based on-site drug tests. Proposals are due by February 21, 2020 at 2:00 PM CST, with delivery required to the Cremer Therapeutic facility in Fulton, Missouri, and various Probation and Parole offices throughout the state. Evaluation criteria suggest the contract will be awarded to the lowest and best responsive bidder.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents, indicating the solicitation is open to all vendors. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. Payment terms are net 45 days, with delivery specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination. Vendors must complete and submit Exhibits A, B, C, and any other applicable exhibits with their proposal. Electronic submissions can be made through the MissouriBUYS system, or hard copies can be submitted to the Division of Purchasing. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the total anticipated purchase appears to be for approximately 825 boxes of drug testing kits across various panel configurations. Two line items (10 and 11) have been deleted from the original scope but still require $0 entries for proposal submission. The contract will be funded through the State of Missouri's budget.
