STATEMENT OF WORK SUMMARY:

Pharmacy departments across VISN 2 (New York/New Jersey VA Health Care Network) require a contractor services from a DEA licensed controlled substance destruction vendor to collect and destroy unusable controlled substance medications via incineration as per DEA requirements to include the required documentation and records.

The minimal requirement for the service is a quarterly on-site pickup, but a more frequent interval and as needed services may be required by some locations. Additionally, some locations have patient return bins for unwanted or no longer needed controlled substances which may require service.
