DNA Collection Kits Service

The Indiana State Police Department in Indianapolis, Indiana is seeking a vendor to provide custom-built DNA collection kits for offender, arrestee, and sexual assault evidence collection. The agency needs to solve the challenge of sourcing specialized kits containing specific required items that are unavailable in standard, off-the-shelf products. The scope of work requires the assembly and delivery of two distinct types of DNA collection kits. Each kit must include four individually wrapped, sterile, wooden cotton-tipped applicators. The kits also require one pleated, flat-bottom, brown paper bag measuring four inches by seven inches by fourteen inches, with a tolerance of plus or minus half an inch, printed with a label according to the agency's specified design. The agency requires all performance of the work to occur offsite. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and cost structure for this service. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this procurement no later than May 29, 2026.
