RFR 233132 Specialized Laboratory Testing Services

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health (Bureau of Infectious Disease & Laboratory Sciences) seeks to create a statewide master‑agreement pool of pre‑qualified laboratory service providers for specialized testing not covered by existing contracts. Vendors will submit rate‑based proposals for a broad menu of services—including diagnostic, reference, surveillance, wastewater, in‑home collection, and genomic sequencing—covering pre‑analytical, analytical, and post‑analytical functions. The solicitation is a rolling, “bid‑as‑you‑go” award; quotes are evaluated and awarded as received throughout a ten‑year window (initial 5‑year term with one optional 5‑year renewal). Required attachments include a Business Associate Agreement, Supplier Diversity Plan, and various compliance forms; electronic quotes are accepted. • Provide rate schedules for a wide range of specialized laboratory tests (e.g., SARS‑CoV‑2, wastewater surveillance, genomic sequencing). • Demonstrate CLIA/CAP accreditation, staffing capacity, secure specimen transport, and electronic results reporting to DPH systems. • Meet mandatory Supplier Diversity Program (minimum 1 % spend) and submit all required COMMBUYS forms (EFT, W‑9, signatory listing, etc.). • No fixed submission deadline; bids may be submitted any time after the posting (March 22 2022) and will be considered until the contract end date of June 30 2032.
