NRC conducts seven types of testing: (1) random; (2) reasonable suspicion; (3) applicant; (4) accident or unsafe practice; (5) voluntary; (6) follow- up; and (7) other as specified by the NRC Project Officer (P.O.), e.g., testing authorized under 10 CFR Parts 10 and 11. This follow-on contract will provide for collection for all seven types of testing for NRC employees at NRC Headquarters and at four Regional Offices, and approximately 85 remote sites throughout the U.S. This contract also includes the requirements of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB). The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, and equipment, except that provided as ''Government Furnished,'' necessary for the on-site collection and transportation of the specimens from designated collection locations to the NRC contract testing laboratory. The contractor shall assist NRC in continuing to fulfill the requirements of the ''NRC Drug Testing Plan'' in compliance with Executive Order 12564. Procedures concerning the on-site collection and transportation of urine specimens are controlled by the Department of Health and Human Services Mandatory Guidelines (HHS Guidelines), dated June 9, 1994, and the NRC Drug Testing Manual, dated December 1995, and any revisions thereto.
