Purchase of One Liquid Chromatograph-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Instrument (Replacement) for the Public Safety Support Department (Funded by Governor’s Office of Highway Safety) (Sole Source) (Citywide)

The Forensic Services Toxicology Unit processes approximately 3,000 cases annually and provides toxicological testing for driving under the influence of drugs, drug-facilitated sexual assault, and other criminal investigations for Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe, and Queen Creek.
