Solicitation B-54030 is a request for quotes from the Illinois Department of Human Services Office of Human Resources for Medical Review Officer services. The selected vendor must provide a licensed physician to perform medical review and verification of laboratory-confirmed non-negative, adulterated, substituted, and invalid drug test results for all DHS pre-employment testing and CDL driver positions. These services are performed remotely via the Quest database and must comply with DOT 49 CFR Part 40 and FMCSA regulations. The proposed contract duration is 10 years, with an estimated volume of 153 medical reviews per year, totaling approximately 1,539 reviews over the term. To be qualified, the Medical Review Officer must hold MD/DO licensure, possess certification from a nationally recognized board such as MROCC or AAMRO, and complete requalification training every five years. A critical requirement of this contract is the strict prohibition of subcontractors; the vendor must directly employ the licensed physician. The agreement is governed by the State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions V23, which include mandates for the State Prompt Payment Act, minority contractor fees, and the requirement that all work be treated as work for hire with exclusive ownership granted to the State of Illinois. Funding for the services may be provided in whole or in part through federal funds.
