Serological Immunoassay Lease and Services

The Georgia Department of Public Health issued eRFQ 40500-DPH0000066 for serological immunoassay instrumentation lease and related services, with proposals originally due February 13, 2014 and subsequently extended to February 17, 2014. The eRFQ was canceled without award on February 24, 2014, at the Department's discretion; the Department reserves the right to reissue a replacement bid event.

The scope encompasses lease and comprehensive service support for serological immunoassay instrumentation, structured as all-inclusive reagent rental pricing. Testing volumes were specified at 285 ELISA kits at the Decatur location. Cost proposals must itemize controls, calibrators, reaction modules, and related consumables as separate line items or under miscellaneous charges; Addendum 03 updated the cost worksheet to permit vendors to submit pricing by individual tests rather than by reagent or kit bundle.

A pre-bidders/offerors conference was held February 6, 2014, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EST at the Georgia Public Health Laboratory in Decatur, with a toll-free teleconference option. Representatives from Bio-Rad Laboratories, DiaSorin, and Gold Standard Diagnostics attended. Written questions were due February 7, 2014; the Department's responses were issued February 11, 2014. All proposals required submission through the Team Georgia Marketplace system with no alternative delivery methods accepted. Respondents were required to complete Attachment E Mandatory Response Worksheet and Attachment F Cost Worksheet; failure to respond to all mandatory requirements resulted in automatic disqualification. Suppliers must acknowledge receipt of all addenda with their RFQ response. The issuing officer is Margie Preston at mapreston@dhr.state.ga.us or 404.232.1141.

No contract value, term, incumbent, or evaluation criteria are specified in the available documents.
