The contractor shall, will also administer on-site (at the locations identified above) for collection and coordinate this determination with the contractor who will collect urine specimens from applicants listed at one of the One-Stops locations. ICE will furnish a facility at each event location (New York/New Jersey, Las Vegas, NV and San Antonio TX) and have available the following equipment for use for the contractor to send electronic files to the contractor to maintain the Designated Testing List.
Categories of Drug Screening
For all services below, the Medical Review Officer (MRO) shall notify the Government’s DPC within 24 hours after verification of a confirmed positive result, and within 1 (one) working day after notification of a negative test result. The contractor shall notify the ICE or FPS requesting office within 4 hours of the scheduled appointment for those applicants/employees who do not report for their scheduled test or the next business day if the appointment was on a “walk-in” basis.
D. The Collector http://workplace.samhsa.gov/DrugTesting/SpecimenCollection/UrnSpcmnHndbk10012004.htm
The collector will be a certified individual who instructs and assists a donor at a collection site, receives and makes an initial inspection of the urine specimen provided by the donor, and initiates and completes the custody and control form (CCF) in accordance with the HHS DFWP Mandatory Guidelines. The collector is vital to the success of a drug-testing program and is the one individual with whom all donors will have direct face to face contact. If the collector does not ensure the integrity of the specimen and adhere to the collection process, the specimen may not be considered a valid piece of evidence. For the on-site collections, after discussion with the DPC, the contractor shall be expected to provide a collection team consisting of one male and one female collector. The majority of collections will be obtained between the hours of vendors Lab choice each day. A vendor can choose of whom the specimen is collected by such as but not limited to Lab Corp. Vendor will need to provide ICE Staff on-site the times of the last collection so that we can ensure that all applicants successfully completed a urinalysis test. Agency site coordinator(s) may travel on site to oversee collection and collectors.

c. Specimen Suitability
In accordance with the Mandatory Guidelines if the applicant/employee is unable to provide a specimen of at least 30 ml (45ml preferred) but does provide enough specimens to activate the temperature strip, the collector must first determine if the specimen is within the acceptable temperature range.
If the specimen was of insufficient quantity and within the acceptable temperature range, the collector will dispose of the original specimen and collection container but retain the CCF.
The collector notes the time of the first attempt on the CCF, and informs the individual of when the two-hour period begins and ends. The individual is required to remain at the test site until a second specimen is provided. The individual may be given a reasonable amount of liquid to drink for this purpose not to exceed 40 ounces within a three hour period per regulations. If the specimen is less than 30ml and the temperature is outside the acceptable range, the collector shall immediately contact the Government authorized officials to discuss the appropriate action to be taken.
If the individual is unable to provide a second specimen within 3 hours, the collector must contact the DPC for instructions. For applicants and employees, the contractor shall immediately contact the DPC before the individual is allowed to leave the site.
Specimen will be prepared for immediate shipment; it must be appropriately secured and refrigerated during temporary storage.
d. Collection Control
In order to ensure that the urine sample is properly identified, strict chain of custody procedures as outlined in the Mandatory Guidelines shall be applied.
While performing any part of the chain of custody procedures, the contractor shall ensure that the specimen and custody documents are always under the total control of the collector.
If the collector must leave the workstation, the specimen and custody form must be secured in a tamper-proof container. Collectors shall work with only one donor at a time.
Only the proper laboratory chain of custody forms shall be utilized for the purpose of maintaining control and accountability from initial collection to final disposition of all specimens. The forms shall identify the specimens through use of pre-printed applicant/ employee identification information that matches label items and a sequential number assigned to each urine specimen obtained. With each transfer of possession, the chain of custody form must be signed, dated, and time stamped by the individual releasing the specimen. By signing and dating the CCF, the donor certifies that the urine in the bottle came form his/her body at the time of collection. Refusal to sign the CCF shall be noted on the CCF by the collector. The collector shall complete the CCF for the collection process.
The applicant/employee shall not be released until the specimen is sealed in the transmittal package. The contractor shall ensure that the number of person handling the specimens does not exceed two (2) consisting of the collector and one other contractor employee.
After collection of urine specimens, the contractor shall arrange to ship the specimens to the designated HHS-certified contract Drug Testing Laboratory (DTL). The specimen shall be placed in appropriate containers (specimen boxes or padded mailers) that are securely sealed to eliminate the possibility of tampering. Collectors shall prepare packages in accordance with specific written DTL instructions. The Contractor shall ensure that all specimens are delivered to the DTL, within 24 hours of collection, by next day delivery service.

SAFEGUARDING OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION (MAR 2015)
(a) Applicability. This clause applies to the Contractor, its subcontractors, and Contractor employees (hereafter referred to collectively as “Contractor”). The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause in all subcontracts.
(b) Definitions. As used in this clause— “Personally Identifiable Information (PII)” means information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, such as name, social security number, or biometric records, either alone, or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual, such as date and place of birth, or mother’s maiden name. The definition of PII is not anchored to any single category of information or technology. Rather, it requires a case-by-case assessment of the specific risk that an individual can be identified. In performing this assessment, it is important for an agency to recognize that non-personally identifiable information can become personally identifiable information whenever additional information is made publicly available—in any medium and from any source—that, combined with other available information, could be used to identify an individual.
PII is a subset of sensitive information. Examples of PII include, but are not limited to: name, date of birth, mailing address, telephone number, Social Security number (SSN), email address, zip code, account numbers, certificate/license numbers, vehicle identifiers including license plates, uniform resource locators (URLs), static Internet protocol addresses, biometric identifiers such as fingerprint, voiceprint, iris scan, photographic facial images, or any other unique identifying number or characteristic, and any information where it is reasonably foreseeable that the information will be linked with other information to identify the individual.
“Sensitive Information” is defined in HSAR clause 3052.204-71, Contractor Employee Access, as any information, which if lost, misused, disclosed, or, without authorization is accessed, or modified, could adversely affect the national or homeland security interest, the conduct of Federal programs, or the privacy to which individuals are entitled under section 552a of Title 5, United States Code (the Privacy Act), but which has not been specifically authorized under criteria established by an
Executive Order or an Act of Congress to be kept secret in the interest of national defense, homeland security or foreign policy. This definition includes the following categories of information:
(1) Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) as set out in the Critical Infrastructure Information Act of 2002 (Title II, Subtitle B, of the Homeland Security Act, Public Law 107- 296, 196 Stat. 2135), as amended, the implementing regulations thereto (Title 6, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 29) as amended, the applicable PCII Procedures Manual, as amended, and any supplementary guidance officially communicated by an authorized official of the Department of Homeland Security (including the PCII Program Manager or his/her designee);
(2) Sensitive Security Information (SSI), as defined in Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1520, as amended, “Policies and Procedures of Safeguarding and Control of SSI,” as amended, and any supplementary guidance officially communicated by an authorized official of the Department of Homeland Security (including the Assistant Secretary for the Transportation Security Administration or his/her designee);
(3) Information designated as “For Official Use Only,” which is unclassified information of a sensitive nature and the unauthorized disclosure of which could adversely impact a person’s privacy or welfare, the conduct of Federal programs, or other programs or operations essential to the national or homeland security interest; and
(4) Any information that is designated “sensitive” or subject to other controls, safeguards or protections in accordance with subsequently adopted homeland security information handling procedures.
“Sensitive Information Incident” is an incident that includes the known, potential, or suspected exposure, loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, or unauthorized access or attempted access of any Government system, Contractor system, or sensitive information.
“Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (SPII)” is a subset of PII, which if lost, compromised or disclosed without authorization, could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual. Some forms of PII are sensitive as stand-alone elements. Examples of such PII include: Social Security numbers (SSN), driver’s license or state identification number, Alien Registration Numbers (A-number), financial account number, and biometric identifiers such as fingerprint, voiceprint, or iris scan. Additional examples include any groupings of information that contain an individual’s name or other unique identifier plus one or more of the following elements:
(1) Truncated SSN (such as last 4 digits)
(2) Date of birth (month, day, and year)
(3) Citizenship or immigration status
(4) Ethnic or religious affiliation
(5) Sexual orientation
(6) Criminal History
(7) Medical Information
(8) System authentication information such as mother’s maiden name, account passwords or personal identification numbers (PIN)
Other PII may be “sensitive” depending on its context, such as a list of employees and their performance ratings or an unlisted home address or phone number. In contrast, a business card or public telephone directory of agency employees contains PII but is not sensitive.
