Pre-Employment Screening & On-Call Laboratory Services

This contract secures a three‑year partnership with a single vendor to provide comprehensive pre‑employment background screening—including SSN verification, criminal records, motor‑vehicle reports, credit and education checks—and on‑call laboratory drug/alcohol testing (urine, breath, blood, saliva) covering both the mandatory NIDA‑5 panel and an expanded substance panel. The vendor must deliver results within two business days (electronic results within one hour), maintain clean collection facilities, supply a Medical Review Officer, and integrate all ordering and reporting functions with Sedgwick County’s SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting system. The award was made to National Screening Bureau, the incumbent provider, after an open competition among 56 respondents. The contract allows for two additional one‑year renewal options, and the county requires extensive insurance coverage and compliance with HIPAA, CJIS, and other security standards. • Scope: Background checks + on‑call drug/alcohol laboratory services • Technical requirement: API‑based integration with SuccessFactors Recruiting • Term: 3 years with two optional 1‑year renewals; unit‑price pricing per test • Vendor: National Screening Bureau (incumbent) awarded after open competition
