All testing sensitivity must meet or exceed National Institute on Drug Abuse standards, and the software must comply with FedRAMP or GovRAMP authorization requirements. The procurement process follows a three-stage evaluation.

Second, responsive proposals are scored on a technical rubric of 800 points covering training, service, installation, work history, subcontractor compliance, and software systems; offerors must score at least 560 points to advance. In the final stage, cost proposals for reagents and supplies are evaluated, with the lowest price receiving the maximum 200 points. The resulting contract requires the vendor to guarantee pricing for two years and deliver reagents and consumables within five days of an order. Invoices are submitted monthly and paid in accordance with the Utah Prompt Payment Act.

Total Points Possible Via Technical Criteria: 800
Offerors that achieve minimum score threshold of 560 will proceed to the Final Stage: Cost Proposal Evaluation.

The evaluation score sheet has been attached to this RFP. The attached evaluation score sheet states the relative weight that will be given to each evaluation criteria.
The evaluation committee, for this RFP, will tally the final scores for criteria other than cost to arrive at a consensus score by the following method: an average of the individual scores.
Final Stage: Cost Proposal Evaluation Offerors successful in the technical evaluation will advance to the Final State: Cost Proposal Evaluation. The Offeror with the lowest total cost will receive the maximum points of 200. Points assigned to each Offeror’s cost proposal will be based on the lowest proposal price.
The Offeror with the lowest total cost will receive 200 or 100% of the total cost points.
