Offender Specimen Collection and Drug Testing Services

The Collin County government authority in Texas is seeking a vendor to provide offender specimen collection and drug testing services. The agency needs to monitor offenders through randomized and scheduled testing programs to ensure compliance and public safety. To solve this, the agency requires a comprehensive system that includes specimen collection, secure transport, laboratory analysis, and electronic reporting. The scope of work covers the collection, transport, and testing of offender specimens, which are primarily urine but may include alternative methods as needed. The selected vendor must perform drug screening and confirmatory testing using approved laboratory methods while ensuring strict chain-of-custody, specimen integrity, and detection of tampering. Additionally, the vendor must implement a randomized testing program, which could include a vendor-operated Interactive Voice Response or web-based call-in system. The vendor must retrieve and transport all collected specimens from all collection sites to the laboratory daily. The agency requires the delivery of accurate test results in an electronic format within forty-eight hours of collection. The vendor must perform all work offsite at their own office premises. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States of America. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 9, 2026.
