Three-Year Term Contract for Handheld Drug Identification Systems for the Police Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
This contract will initially provide Forensic Services with five handheld TruNarc Identification Systems, a handheld analyzer system used for rapid identification of suspected narcotics in field testing; which uses a single test for multiple controlled substances that provides clear, definitive results for presumptive identification. This equipment has been validated and certified by Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.
The Police Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the State of Arizona cooperative contract with ThermoFisher Scientific, at $145,000 annually, based on estimated requirements. The initial purchase of five systems and associated supplies is funded by Asset Forfeiture (RICO) Funds. Future purchases would be funded by the Police Department operating budget.
