- STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) Task Order Number: (completed by the CO at time of award if a TO) IFCAP Tracking Number: 642-17-3-025-1118 Follow-on to Contract and Task Order Number: Previous 642A70027 Address: CMCVAMC ( Philadelphia) 3900 Woodland Ave Philadelphia, PA 19104 2. Contract Title. Reference testing services for Tuberculosis (TB) screening tests on venous blood for employees and patients. 3. Background. Human Resources is requiring shorter turn-around times for TB testing for new employees and to have the prospective employees only have one visit for all their pre-employment testing and paperwork. The current skin test requires two visits. The skin test vaccine has been recalled several times over the last few years forcing the use of a blood test. Also, for a particular patient sub-set, a simple collection of a tube of blood can help clinician s diagnosis TB easier. Blood testing is also more effective for patients who have positive skin tests due to past exposure. The blood test can identify newly diagnosed cases. 4. Scope. The CMCVAMC will collect one single sample of blood and send it to the reference lab for analysis. Results must be communicated to the CMCVAMC P&LMS department within 48 hours of specimen shipment via secure fax or the ability to access via a web portal directly to reference testing lab. 5. Specific Requirements. The CMCVAMC will collect (1) one tube of blood and send it to the reference laboratory for analysis. Once the sample has been analyzed, results must be communicated to the CMCVAMC, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Collection of a single blood specimen in a standard green top collection tube No special phlebotomy, i.e. shaking of tubes, incubation within 16 hour Blood specimen stability up to 32 hours Correction of the patient s immune status by standardization of the number of PBMCs used in the assay TB test with both sensitivity and specificity greater than 95% TB test that provides a Borderline test result which is recommended by the CDC Evidence provided by clinical studies showing a higher degree of sensitivity in immunosuppressed patients.
