- Description
- Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory This solicitation is for a Full and Open Competitive procurement for a "Primary Drug Testing Lab" also known as a Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory (FTDTL) contract which will have a Base Year and four Option Years. It is anticipated that the resulting contract will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract and the contract will specify year-by-year total Ceiling price-figures. The incumbent contractor is Alere Toxicology. The incumbent's contract number is DTOS59-13-D-00500. The incumbent contractor's address is 1111 Newton Street, Gretna, Louisiana 70053. The incumbent contractor-company is eligible to compete under this new procurement. DOT does not plan to release copies of the incumbent contract document; and, in any event, the incumbent contract document would not be of any help to offerors competing under this new procurement because DOT cannot release any of the incumbent contract document's unit-pricing-information (i.e., per-job fixed-price-figures) and structure. Under the new contract to be awarded from this solicitation, the work to be performed by the contractor will probably include (1) providing split-specimen urinalysis collection supplies; (2) preparation and shipping of collection supplies, specimens and aliquots; (3) forensic urinalysis and lab work, including comprehensive performance testing and laboratory inspections as set forth in HHS guidelines; (4) maintenance of equipment used in the project; (5) quality control; (6) maintaining chain-of-custody; (7) providing specimen validity testing; (8) providing urinalysis in accordance with initial screening protocols specified in the HHS Guidelines (9) providing urinalysis tests in accordance with confirmation protocols specified in the HHS Guidelines; (10) performing tests for other drugs listed in Schedules 1 and II of the Controlled Substances Act; (11) preparing and shipping invoices and monthly reports; (12) maintaining records; (13) providing data, reports and notifications: (14) providing management briefings; and (15) providing expert advice and testimony in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings and provide documentation pertinent to individual drug tests. The solicitation and contract's reimbursement structure consist of a series of year-by-year pricing tables, each of which list various types of drug-testing jobs, with a DOT-estimated-realistic number of each such type of job to be performed by the contractor during the project-year in question, and with a fixed unit-price for that particular project-year, each offeror will be able to compile a total proposed price for that particular type of job for that particular project-year. The resulting contract, however, will not guarantee that any such DOT-estimated-realistic number of drug-testing jobs will actually be ordered by the Government; but the resulting contract probably will guarantee a minimum level of work. IT SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH PROSPECTIVE OFFER TO CLOSELY AND FREQUENTLY MONITOR THE FEDBIZOPPS WEBSITE FOR ANY SYNOPSIS-AMENDMENTS THAT MIGHT HEREAFTER BE PUBLISHED, BECAUSE AMENDMENTS OFTEN CONTAIN CRUCIAL INFORMATION. THE DUE DATE FOR PROPOSALS IS DECEMBER 7, 2017. TELEPHONE, FAXED AND E-MAILED PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. INSTEAD, EACH OFFEROR MUST SUBMIT ITS PROPOSAL IN HARD COPY FORM.
