| 01-15-2019 : | CONTRACT REBID STATUS | This contract expires Jan. 31 while Enterprise Services works toward a new state contract. The replacement contract is expected to be in place near the end of 2019. In the meantime, customers can look at different ways to acquire testing services. State agencies: Because there will be no master contract in place, agency customers have two options: • Work with their purchasing departments to undertake a competitive procurement and award a contract (see RCW 39.26.120). • Consider a contract for “client services,” which are excepted from competitive-solicitation requirements. See RCW 39.26.125(6) and 39.26.010(4). Political subdivisions: Cities, counties, higher ed, special districts, etc., will need to follow their own purchasing authorities to procure testing services. Here are some options: • Undertake a competitive procurement; • Execute a Participating Addendum with MMCAP to use its drug-testing contract; • Use another cooperative or municipality contract (piggyback). |
