A copy of such insurance coverage shall be provided to the Contracting Officer, upon request. Shipping/Processing Arrangements The VISN 17 facility s contracting officer representative (COR) will contact the Contractor directly to arrange for a return credit service date. The Contractor shall provide on-site servicing within ten (10) business days from the date of the facility request and provide all instructions, forms, labels, and DEA required tamper-proof containers/pouches (as applicable) that are needed to transport the designated items to a Contractor's central processing facility. The Contractor shall comply with any participating facilities additional security requirements and procedures for access to facilities. Products qualifying for manufacturer s return are pharmaceuticals, including partial pharmaceuticals, that are in the original manufacturer containers. The contractor shall only accept medications that are expired or set to expire within 120 calendar days. While on-site, the Contractor shall prepare a complete inventory of the pharmaceuticals to be removed from the pharmacy, and the VA facility designee will validate the contents of the Contractor s inventory for accuracy by comparing it to the facility s own return for credit inventory. All discrepancies shall be resolved prior to the removal of the pharmaceuticals from the facility by the Contractor. The Contractor shall not accept returns of medications that are not expired or within 120 calendar days of expiration. All services required as part of the pick-up must be included in the firm-fixed price. If the pick-up order requires more than one day to complete, the Contractor shall ensure that all controlled substance returns are reviewed and boxed for shipping from the facility by close of business on the same day of service. Chain of custody paperwork including a signed receipt for all Schedule III-V and DEA Form 222 for Schedule II shall be prepared for controlled substances and given to the returning facility by the Contractor at the time the package(s) are prepared for transport. During reverse distribution processing, if any controlled substances are destroyed, the DEA registered reverse distributor must submit a DEA Form 41 to the DEA when the controlled substances have been destroyed. The DEA Form 41 shall not be used to document the transfer of controlled substances from the pharmacy to the reverse distributor. If requested, a copy of the DEA Form 41 shall be made available to the pharmacy point of contact. Notification shall be provided to the facility COR within three (3) calendar days after initial processing is completed that the items have arrived at the Contractor s centralized facility.

Each site visit/pickup shall be assigned a single order/job processing number by the contractor. No batch processing of credits received by the vendor is permitted. Credits received and documented for each order/job number must be kept separate. This includes down to the NDC-level credits received. Credit Tracking and Reconciliation When actual credits are received, the Contractor shall update the database reflecting the actual credits received from the manufacturer and reconcile the difference between the estimated return value and the actual credits received based on the manufacturers debit memos. Debit memos must be requested by the Contractor from the manufacturers for all credits issued. The debit/credit memos shall be provided by the Contractor to each facility receiving credits and used for comparison of records/transactions of credits pending and creditsreceived.
