The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (‘DOHMH’ or ‘Agency’) is seeking appropriately qualified vendors to provide diagnostic testing services in a variety of settings to prevent, detect, mitigate, and surveille communicable disease outbreaks, including but not limited to COVID-19, Influenza, Hepatitis A, measles, mumps, Mpox, RSV, and polio outbreaks. As requested by DOHMH, the contractors would deliver appropriate specimen collection kits to sites in New York City, train staff to perform specimen collection when requested, perform FDA-authorized diagnostic analysis on the specimens that were collected, and would perform whole genome sequencing on specimens.
