Culture Tubes and Glass Inserts - Toxicology

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office (Toxicology Department) issued an informal request for pricing to acquire laboratory supplies: 16×125 mm plain culture tubes, 16×125 mm threaded culture tubes, and 0.2 mL glass inserts. The solicitation allowed equivalent products that are compatible with existing instrumentation. The award was granted on January 13 2022, with a total spend of approximately $6.6 K covering both consumables and a one‑time shipping charge. • Items requested are standard microbiology consumables used for toxicology testing. • Quantities were modest (15 plain and threaded tubes, 25 glass inserts, plus a shipping line). • The contract was awarded via an informal RFB process, indicating limited competition and a quick turnaround.
