The City's current blood technician services agreement with California Forensic Phlebotomy Inc. is set to expire on March 4, 2026. To ensure blood technician services continue uninterrupted, the Police Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 25-135 on November 17, 2025, via the City's online bid management and publication system. A summary of vendor participation and results is as follows: 279 Vendors notified 32 Santa Ana Vendors notified 12 Vendors downloaded the RFP packet Blood Technician Services February 17, 2026 Page 2 2 Responsive proposals received 0 Responsive proposals received from Santa Ana vendors Two proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline, which were determined to be responsive to the specifications, and met the City's requirements.
