Covid 19 Test Kits Supplies

The Rhode Island government authority is seeking vendors to provide COVID-19 test kit supplies to ensure residents have access to testing platforms capable of identifying active infections. The agency requires rapid antigen test kits to support testing programs in childcare, preK-12 schools, long-term and congregate care facilities, nursing homes, and State-run fixed sites serving the general population. These point-of-care, rapid antigen test kits must possess, at a minimum, a valid Emergency Use Authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. The scope of work covers the procurement of test kits in specific packaging configurations, including one-unit, two-unit, twenty-five-unit, thirty-unit, and forty-unit test kits. The agency requires the selected vendor to perform all work offsite. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations located within the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and pricing structure for these supplies. Bidders must submit their responses digitally, either via email or through the designated online portal. The agency has not specified key dates or detailed evaluation criteria in the initial solicitation details.
