Drug and Alcohol Testing Services

The City of Lakeland, Florida, is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive drug-free workplace services, policy support, and compliance management. The agency needs to solve the challenge of maintaining a safe, compliant work environment through continuous, on-demand substance screening. The scope of work covers Department of Transportation (DOT) and non-DOT drug and alcohol testing, random testing, post-accident testing, reasonable suspicion testing, and return-to-duty or follow-up testing. Bidders may also offer optional pre-employment drug testing as part of their proposals. The agency requires all testing services to be available on-site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Despite the on-site service requirement, the agency indicates that overall performance of the contract work will be managed offsite. Eligibility is strictly limited to United States organizations. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and will award a contract for a five-year period. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 10, 2026. The agency allows digital submission of proposals via email or an online portal. The evaluation criteria will focus on the bidder's ability to meet the continuous on-site testing requirements and manage compliance effectively.
