Reagent Lease for Drug of Abuse Testing Systems and Supplies
GBI Drug Testing Instrument Contracts for Accountability Court Programs
Effective September 1, 2017 the CJCC in partnership with CACJ entered into drug testing instrument lease agreements with two suppliers: Thermo Fisher and Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics.
Introduction:
In 2016 the Council of Accountability Court Judges (CACJ) partnered with the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) and the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) on behalf of Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) to initiate a Request for Proposal (RFP) that would result in statewide access to enter into lease agreements for drug testing instruments. Accountability Court Programs are encouraged to utilize a drug testing instrument as a primary drug testing method. Drug testing instruments offer a comprehensive testing menu, as well as an efficient testing process that will integrate drug test results with the two state contracted case management systems for Accountability Court Programs. The GBI drug testing instrument contracts offer not to exceed pricing for local jurisdictions to use to locally to support their Accountability Court Program(s).
Who Can Use the Contract?
All CACJ certified and/or CACJ/CJCC funded Accountability Court programs. Courts that are not CACJ certified and/or CACJ/CJCC funded should check their procurement policy for additional information about authorization to participate.
