Analytical Reference Materials for Forensic Testing

The State of New Mexico’s Department of Health Scientific Laboratory is establishing a price‑agreement (Agency Price Agreement) to purchase analytical standards, reference materials (RMs), and certified reference materials (CRMs) needed for forensic analysis of both licit and illicit substances in human biological samples. Vendors will provide a range of specialized chemicals, including isotopically labeled compounds, ultrapure reagents, and chemistry test kits, under a sealed‑bid process. The agreement will be governed by a set price schedule and will be used to support ongoing forensic testing activities. • Scope: Supply of analytical standards, RMs, and CRMs for forensic drug testing (chemicals, isotopically labeled, ultrapure reagents, test kits). • Procurement Method: Open Invitation to Bid – Agency Price Agreement; sealed bids submitted by 8 Oct 2026 2:00 PM MDT. • Commodity Codes: 11515 (Isotopically Labeled Chemicals), 17574 (Ultrapure Reagents), 19389 (Chemistry Test Kits). • Contact: Patrick Gardner (procurement contact) via email. • No budget amount disclosed; vendors will compete on price under the agreement.
