Drug Abuse Testing

The New York State Office of Mental Health, specifically for the Nathan S. Kline Institute in Rockland, has established a single-source procurement exemption to add drug abuse testing commodities to an existing contract. This action integrates tests previously purchased on a discretionary basis, adding a total of 185,000.00 dollars over three years, which averages 61,500.00 dollars annually. The procurement includes specific laboratory calibrators and controls, such as Syva Creatinine Validity Calibrators in various concentrations, Syva Validity Negative Calibrators, and EMIT Calibrators/Controls at levels 2 and 5. The contract term is effective from May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2029, with the agency planning to re-procure these services around the fall of 2028. Ron Foster, Contract Management Specialist 2, serves as the primary point of contact for this agreement. This procurement was processed as an exemption from advertising to ensure the necessary testing materials are formally incorporated into the agency's contractual framework.
