Brunswick County (for and on behalf of Brunswick County Treatment Court) is soliciting proposals for drug screening supplies for Brunswick County Treatment Court participants. The selected provider must offer a variety of random sample urine and oral screenings to test for commonly-used illegal drugs and alcohol. Drug screening supplies will be ordered by Brunswick County only on an as-needed basis. There will be no guaranteed minimums or maximums under an awarded contract.
Brunswick County has established the scope for this project. Any changes to the specifications or scope will be made in the form of an Addendum to this Request for Proposals and will be posted on the Brunswick County website. Interested providers are responsible for ensuring that they have all addenda. Brunswick County may negotiate and refine the final scope with the selected provider at any time, including after the initial contract award.
The scope will consist of the provision of rapid 12-panel (minimum) multi-drug test cups with adulterants, a rapid 12-panel oral fluid test, and transdermal sweat patches. For clarity, 12-panel multi-drug tests are the minimum required; however, 16-panel multi-drug test cups with adulterants may be used if 12-panels are not available. The selected provider must be able to supply up to an estimated 400 multi-drug test cups with adulterants per month, 100 oral fluid tests per year, and 25 sweat patches per year, and ship all supplies in a timely manner. The foregoing supplies are only estimates. Supplies will be ordered by Brunswick County on an as-needed basis, and there will be no guaranteed minimums or maximums under an awarded contract.
