Portable Oral Fluid Drug Testing Device RFI

The Illinois State Police (ISP) is seeking information on portable oral fluid drug testing devices through a Request for Information (RFI). The ISP Academy's Alcohol and Substance Testing Section is responsible for training ISP Cadets and local officers throughout the state in DUI enforcement, and currently does not have an oral fluid testing device or program. The RFI invites participants to submit non-proprietary, non-price information about the availability of specified types of supplies and services, with the goal of identifying innovative portable oral fluid drug testing devices to assist ISP officers in DUI-Drug enforcement. Responses to the RFI are due by November 7, 2019 at 5:00 PM Central Time and may be submitted electronically, via paper submission, or through the BidBuy portal. The RFI requests information on the description of the product, including its suitability for portable roadside or secure setting use, as well as a description of the pricing structure, including any typical maintenance costs and continuing expenses.

The state of Illinois reserves the right to make all submissions to this RFI public, and respondents are prohibited from providing pricing, customized solutions, or other information that could disqualify them from participating in future related procurements. The RFI does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFI also does not provide any information on possible award values or budget ranges.
