Medical Specimen Courier Services – STD-HIV-TB Program

The contract involves the weekly transportation of sexually transmitted disease, HIV, and tuberculosis specimens from various collection centers to the State Public Health Laboratory in Connecticut, with strict adherence to federal and state packaging, labeling, and chain-of-custody protocols to ensure specimen integrity and regulatory compliance. All couriers must follow established health and safety guidelines to prevent contamination or tampering during transit, and documentation must be meticulously maintained to support audit readiness and legal accountability. The work requires reliable scheduling, secure handling, and timely delivery to meet the laboratory’s operational needs without interruption. This is a subcontract under the NAICS code 492210 for medical courier services, solicited by the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services Procurement Division, with a response deadline of May 19, 2026. The contract does not specify a set-aside classification or indicate the presence of a point of contact, and performance is expected to occur entirely within Connecticut. Bidders must demonstrate experience in handling biohazardous materials, proven compliance with transportation regulations, and the capacity to operate on a consistent weekly schedule across multiple collection sites. Proposals are to be submitted through the official state procurement portal by the stated deadline.
