Urine Analysis IDOC

The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) through the Idaho Division of Purchasing is conducting an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for comprehensive Urine Analysis (UA) Drug Testing services across seven districts for clients under community supervision. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide random, observed drug and alcohol testing using 5-panel and 7-panel urine tests, with specific estimated annual quantities for each district: District 1 requires 11,000 of each test type, District 2 needs 4,250, District 3 requires 18,250, District 4 requires 25,000, District 5 needs 12,000, District 6 requires 7,000, and District 7 needs 11,000 tests. Vendors must have at least two years of experience providing such services and must be capable of conducting laboratory confirmation of positive samples, coordinating with probation and parole officers, and maintaining flexible testing hours. The initial contract term is one year with potential renewals up to a total of five years. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled, and electronic bid submissions must be made through the IPRO portal by the specified deadline. Award will be made by district to the responsive, responsible bidder with the lowest total cost, and bidders must provide fully-burdened unit prices for each test type.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Pricing must remain firm for the first six months, with potential price adjustments allowed twice per year thereafter. The contractor must maintain various insurance coverages, including commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers compensation, with the State of Idaho and IDOC named as additional insured parties. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the contract requires the selected vendor to provide detailed reporting and potentially train IDOC staff on their testing systems. Testing must be conducted at the contractor's site unless an alternate location is mutually agreed upon, with travel expenses reimbursed according to state policy. The contractor will be responsible for maintaining cyber liability insurance and providing comprehensive audit documentation. Although no specific budget range is listed, the bid schedule provides a mechanism for evaluating costs across different IDOC districts, suggesting flexibility in contract value based on district-specific testing needs.
