Description

Sources Sought Notice The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Integrated Service Network 17, Network Contracting Office (NCO) 17 is seeking sources for the following procurement: Disposition of Repackaged Controlled Substances 1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE: Appropriate disposition of repackaged controlled substances with notification to any and all oversight agencies, as necessary. a. BACKGROUND: Medication that is damaged, expired or otherwise unusable cannot be distributed to Veteran patients. Expired medication that is still in the original manufacturer s packaging may be returned for credit through a reverse distributor, however, the pharmacy may also accumulate repackaged items including medication processed into patient prescriptions, repackaged items for use within the facility and other items removed from original packaging. Medication not in the original packaging from the manufacturer cannot be returned for credit per the current National Acquisition Center (NAC) contract and are potentially deemed pharmaceutical waste or unusable product. Items must be disposed of in a manner that is safe for the environment and in keeping with all current and future laws & regulations. In the case of a controlled substance, a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Form 222 must be generated to account for the removal of schedule II controlled substances from the facility and other paperwork must be filed with the DEA once the destruction has occurred. Schedule III, Schedule IV and Schedule V controlled substances will be inventoried and a complete list shall be provided to the facility. Full and complete accountability is expected for all controlled substances, to include web-based tracking and reporting. b. OBJECTIVE: To have pharmaceutical product, including controlled substances, removed from South Texas Veterans Health Care System (STVHCS) sites and disposed of properly in accordance with all current DEA rules and applicable regulations. If paperwork is required by an oversight agency such as the DEA, the contractor shall generate the appropriate paperwork. Copies of any and all regulatory paperwork shall be timely sent to or left with the STVHCS pharmacy station. Services are to be performed quarterly. c. SCOPE OF WORK: Unusable medication identified by the pharmacy, including controlled substances, shall be removed from each facility, as listed below on a quarterly basis by the contracted vendor with potential of ad-hoc pick-ups as requested. There are four (4) main facilities, with the possible inclusion of secondary Veterans Affairs (VA) locations. Paperwork including, but not limited to, a DEA Form 222 shall be generated and a copy will be provided and stored within the pharmacy narcotic vault prior to the removal of medications from the facility. All repackaged controlled substances shall be shipped by the contractor, at no cost to the VA, directly from the pharmacy to the contractor s designated processing facility. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NOISH) listed repackaged substances shall be disposed of in accordance with all regulatory requirements. Web-based tracking and reports, including but not limited to DEA form 41, shall be made available to each facility for each visit or pick-up. (1) Estimated workload - As a guide, the following estimates are made: Based on experience, the estimated onsite time to routinely process outdated items covered under this contract is approximately two hours per location and up to four hours per larger site, though actual time on site may be more or less. Estimated line items on the DEA forms would be approximately less than 50 for small sites and 100 for the larger sites. There may be times of unusual demand or ad-hoc pick-ups requested by the facility due to inspections or other needs determined by the facility. *Due to lapse in service the initial on-time processing is likely to exceed the routine processing time and number of line items, the estimate is approximately 3 times the routine volume. List of sites: Site Location *Audie L. Murphy VA Hospital, San Antonio, Texas Frank M. Tejeda Outpatient Clinic, San Antonio, Texas North Central Federal Clinic, San Antonio, Texas Kerrville VA Hospital, Kerrville, Texas *Larger site Period of Performance: One-year base with four 1-year optional renewals beginning at contract award.
