Statewide Contract for COVID-19 Testing Products

The State of Maryland Department of General Services is conducting an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to establish an indefinite quantity contract for the supply of COVID-19 testing products, including PCR, molecular, antigen, and serology tests. The contract will have a term through June 30, 2025, with firm, fixed unit pricing. The State intends to award up to 10 contracts in each of two functional areas: Functional Area 1 for at-home COVID-19 tests and Functional Area 2 for clinically-observed COVID-19 tests. Bidders may submit proposals for one or both functional areas, but must bid a single test product per functional area for the full contract term. The IFB outlines specific performance and delivery requirements for the COVID-19 test products. Bids are due by August 6, 2021 at 2:00 PM local time, and a pre-bid conference was previously held on May 26, 2021.

This procurement does not include any Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business (VSBE) subcontracting goals. The State will award contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s) in each functional area. There is no incumbent information provided, and the IFB does not specify a budget range or estimated contract value. Bidders must have at least 6 months of experience providing COVID-19 test supplies to government agencies or similar entities, and must be in good standing with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) and registered with the Office of the Comptroller of Maryland.
