B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

1. General Requirements:

Brand name or Equal ISO/TEC 17025 accredited laboratory under the Environmental

Microbiology Lab Accreditation Program (EMLAP) will process (incubate, analyze, record and report results) microbiological surface samples, Gloved Fingertip and Thumb samples (GFT) and Media Fill Testing (MFT) samples obtained and submitted by

Wilkes-Barre Veterans Medical Center (WBVAMC). Samples will be processed according to the most current version of CAG-009-2011 (or its successor) and results will be compared to recommendations provided in USP <797>.

MUST BE FDA REGISTERED.

Base plus 4 option years.

All sampling supplies, plates and media fill will be provided by the laboratory pursuant to this contract. Certif icate of analysis from the manufacturer will be provided for each lot of growth media to verify that the media meet the expected growth promotion, pH, and sterilization requirements.

The contractor shall process personnel related assessment testing GFT samples according to CAG-009-2011 (or its successor), and 2022 USP <797> standards (or newest version). GFT results will be reported for each plate, with the amount of colony forming units (cfu) present on each plate reported. If there is no growth present that shall be indicated on the report (0 CFU or < 1 CFU).

The contractor shall process MFT samples according to CAG-009-2011 (or its successor) and 2022 USP <797> standards (or newest version). MFT results will be reported as negative (pass) or positive (fail); failure is indicated by visible turbidity or other visual manifestations of growth in the media in one or more container–closure unit(s) on or before 14 days.

The contractor shall process viable surface samples according to the most current version of CAG-009-2011 and USP <797> standards. If cfu measured during viable sampling exceed USP <797> threshold levels, the report will at minimum identify genus and, when possible, species of any microorganism recovered on the report, in addition to the sample name and the number of CFU. If there is no growth present that shall be indicated on the report (0 CFU or < 1 CFU).

2. Scope:

The contractor shall perform routine work detailed in this Statement of Work (SOW) on a regular schedule, mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and Contracting Officer

Representave (COR). The majority of the staff will be tested for GFT and Media fill on a twice yearly basis. Any newly hired staff will need to be tested on an adhoc basis according to the start date in the service.

The number of surface sampling, gloved fingertip testing (GFT) and media fill testing

(MFT) may change throughout the contract period. This is WBVAMC’s best estimate of the number and type expected to be tested and sampled by the contract. WBVAMC reserves the right to delete or add units as required.

If the numbers of listed items will be exceeded, no work is authorized without the prior written approval of the Contracting Officer (CO) to account for it. Work items or services not already included in this SOW, but relevant to it, may be ordered by the CO without further competition. Only the CO has the right to obligate funding or order work not expressly detailed in this SOW. The Government shall not be held responsible for payment for any work performed by the Contractor that is outside the scope of this contract or without the prior approval of the CO.

3. Task:

a. Bacteria and Fungi surface incubation and sample analysis

b. Gloved Fingertip and Thumb Sample incubation and sample analysis

c. Media Fill Testing sample incubation and sample analysis

The Contractor will assist in conducting gloved fingertip and thumb testing, media fill testing and surface sampling according to USP <797> guidelines and pharmacy needs.

The Contractor shall assist with the collection, labeling and preparation of all samples.

Days of sampling will be coordinated so delivery occurs according to contractor’s normal hours. The majority of testing will be conducted bi-annually (approximately 35 employees). Any additional staff needed outside of the scheduled testing week will be conducted by pharmacy designee and shipped directly to the contractor for analysis.

4. Gloved Fingertip and Thumb Sampling Plates:

Pharmacy compounding staff must be evaluated in Gloved Fingertip and Thumb

Sampling (GFT) to demonstrate competency in garbing and hand hygiene, as set forth in

USP <797>. The Contractor will perform GFT on site, using one sampling device per hand (e.g., plates, paddles, or slides) containing general microbial growth agar {e.g., trypticase soy agar (TSA)} supplemented with neutralizing additives (e.g., lecithin and polysorbate 80) as this agar supports both bacterial and fungal growth.

Contractor will incubate fingertip sampling plates immediately upon receipt at a temperature of 30-35° C for no less than 48 hours and then at 20°–25° C for no less than 5 additional days. Sampling plates will be stored during incubation to prevent condensate from dropping onto the agar and affecting the accuracy of the cfu reading

(e.g., invert plates). Contractor will record and report the number of cfu per hand (left hand, right hand), as well as the starting temperature for each interval of incubation, dates of incubation, and the identif ication of the person who reads and documents the results. Contractor personnel who analyze sampling plates including reading of plates, counting cfu, and performing identification of recovered microorganisms will be a licensed and qualif ied environmental microbiologist.

Failure is if total cfu for both hands is greater than the action level for the type sampling

(i.e., initial or bi-annual). The contractor will notify the USP Program Manager, or if unavailable, the Chief Pharmacy Services, within 1 (one) business day of any failure.

All results will be transmitted to the facility within one business day of final analysis.

Table 1. Action Level for Gloved Fingertip Sampling and Thumb Sampling

Gloved Fingertip & Thumb Sampling Action Level*

Initial sampling after garbing >0

Subsequent sampling after media-fill testing (every 6 months)

>3

*Action levels are based on the total cfu count from both hands.

5. Surface Sample Plates:

Surface sampling plates are preferred over paddles or slides. One plate of general microbial growth agar [e.g. typticase soy agar (TSA)] supplemented with neutralizing additives (e.g. lecithin & polysorbate 80).

Microbiological surface monitoring will be performed after bi-annual media fill test is conducted by each employee as well as monthly in the IV room Suite and Segregated

Compounding Contingency Area for both hazardous and non-hazardous compounding and all classified areas including:

• the interior of the Primary Engineering Controls (PECs) and any equipment contained within

• staging or work area(s) near the PEC

• Frequently touched surfaces

* Additional surface sampling may be performed during certification of new facilities and equipment, after servicing facilities or equipment, in response to identified problems, in response to identified trends, or in response to changes that could impact the sterile compounding environment.

Contractor will incubate media device(s) immediately upon receipt at a temperature of

30-35° C for no less than 48 hours. Sampling plates will be stored during incubation to prevent condensation from dropping onto the agar and affecting the accuracy of the cfu reading (e.g., invert plates). Contractor will report the total number of discrete colonies of microorganisms on each plate as cfu per sample, with sample location, and sample date. If levels measured during surface sampling exceed the levels in USP <797> Table

6, an attempt must be made to identify any microorganism recovered to the genus leve l, and when possible, to species of the microorganism recovered.

Contractor will incubate media device(s) at a temperature of 20-25° C for no less than 5 additional days. Sampling plates will be stored during incubation to prevent condensation from dropping onto the agar and affecting the accuracy of the cfu reading

(e.g., invert plates). Contractor will report the total number of discrete colonies of microorganisms on each plate as cfu per sample, with sample location, and sample date. If levels measured during surface sampling exceed the levels in USP <797> Table

6, an attempt must be made to identify any microorganism recovered to the genus leve l, and when possible, to species of the microorganism recovered.

Contractor will identify which surface sampling method is included with bid.

Contractor will report the number of cfu per plate as well as the starting temperature for each interval of incubation, dates of incubation, and the identification of the person who reads and documents the results. Contractor personnel who analyze sampling plates including reading of plates, counting cfu, and performing identification of recovered microorganisms will be a licensed and qualif ied environmental microbiologist.

Failure is if cfu of any plate is greater than the action level for the classified area. The contractor will notify the Pharmacy Inpatient/USP 797/800 Program Manager and the

Chief of Pharmacy Services, within 1 (one) business day of any failure. All results will be transmitted to the facility within one business day of final analysis.

6. Media Fill Samples:

Media fill tests will be designed and developed by the Pharmacy Inpatient/USP 797/800

Program Manager to reflect the most complicated manipulations performed at

WBVAMC. The contractor will be provided with the final Media Fill Testing sample (one sample) per staff member tested.

Contractor will incubate MFT samples immediately upon receipt at a temperature of 20°–

25°C for 7 (seven) days followed by 7 (seven) days at 30°–35°C to detect a broad spectrum of microorganisms.

Contractor will report pass/fail results as well as the starting temperature for each interval of incubation, dates of incubation, and the identification of the person who reads and documents the results. Contractor personnel who analyze media fill including reading results licensed and qualif ied environmental microbiologist and or technician.

Failure is indicated by visible turbidity or other visual manifestations of growth in the media in one or more container closure unit(s) on or before 14 days. The contractor will notify the Pharmacy Inpatient/USP 797/800 Program Manager and the Chief of

Pharmacy Services, within 1 (one) business day of any failure by utilizing a designated email group as provided by the facility. All results will be transmitted to the facility within one business day of final analysis.
