B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

For Joint Commission Continuous Readiness Mock Surveys and Education Program

VISN 5

The following Statement of Work outlines contractor requirements regarding the provision of The Joint Commission (TJC) Continuous Readiness Assessment Services and Educational Programs to six (6) of the VISN 5 facilities along with their respective sub-stations and Community Based Outpatient Clinics:

· VA Maryland Health Care System (STA 512), Maryland (Multi-Division Site)

· Beckley VAMC (STA 517), Beckley, West Virginia

· Louis A Johnson VAMC (STA 540), Clarksburg, West Virginia

· Martinsburg VAMC (STA 613), Martinsburg, West Virginia

· Washington DC VAMC (STA 688), Washington DC

· Huntington VAMC (STA 581), Huntington, West Virginia Scope This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is for a five-year period, which includes five, one-year ordering periods. The Contractor is to provide a Continuous Readiness Assessment JC Survey and/or Education for the purpose of performance improvement, improving system effectiveness, and achieving and maintaining compliance with JC standards for the selected VISN 5 facilities and its CBOC’s. The assessment will be inclusive of the four TJC programs: Hospital, Home Care, Behavioral Health (including Opioid), and Nursing and Rehabilitation.

Definitions and Terms: As used throughout this statement of work, the following terms shall have the meaning set forth below:

a. Environment of Care (EC) The goal of this chapter is to promote a safe, functional, and supportive environment within the hospital so that quality and safety are preserved. The environment of care is made up of three basic elements:

- The building or space, including how it is arranged and special features that protect patients, visitors, and staff

- Equipment used to support patient care or to safely operate the building or space

- People, including those who work within the hospital, patients, and anyone else who enters the environment, all of whom have a role in minimizing risks.

b. Fire Safety Management Activities selected and implemented by the organization to assess and control the risks of fire, smoke, and other byproducts of combustion that could occur during the organization’s provision of care, treatment, or services.

c. Fire-Rated Material that has undergone a test and is fire protection rated or fire resistance rated.

Two examples of the concept of fire-rated include the following:

- fire resistance rating - The time, in minutes or hours, that materials or assemblies have withstood a fire exposure, as determined by tests, or methods based on tests, prescribed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

- fire protection rating - A designation indicating the duration of fire test exposure to which a fire door assembly or fire window assembly was exposed and for which it met all the acceptance criteria, as determined in accordance with NFPA 252, Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies, or NFPA 257, Standard on Fire Test for Window and Glass Block Assemblies.

d. Fire Watch The assignment of a person or persons to an area for the express purpose of protecting occupants from fire or similar emergencies. Examples of this protection include:

- Notifying the fire department, the building occupants, or both of an emergency

- Preventing a fire from occurring

- Extinguishing small fires

e. Hazardous Materials and Waste Materials whose handling, use, and storage are guided or defined by local, state, or federal regulation, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Regulations for Bloodborne Pathogens regarding the disposal of blood and blood-soaked items and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s regulations for the handling and disposal of radioactive waste. This also includes hazardous vapors (for example, glutaraldehyde, ethylene oxide, nitrous oxide) and hazardous energy sources (for example, ionizing or nonionizing radiation, lasers, microwave, ultrasound). Although The Joint Commission (TJC) considers infectious waste as falling into this category of materials, federal regulations do not define infectious or medical waste as hazardous waste.

f. Life Safety Code® A set of standards for the construction and operation of buildings intended to provide a reasonable degree of safety during fires. These standards are prepared, published, and periodically revised by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and adopted by TJC to evaluate health care organizations under its life safety management program. The VHA adopts and uses the current edition of each NFPA code

g. Utility Systems Building systems that provide support to the environment of care, including electrical distribution and emergency power; vertical and horizontal transport; heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC); plumbing, boiler, and steam; piped gases; vacuum systems; and communication systems, including data exchange systems.

h. Acronyms Applicable to this Statement of Work:

COR - Contracting Officers Representative EC - Environment of Care LS - Life Safety NFPA – National Fire Protection Association TJC – The Joint Commission Period Of Performance This is a Blanket Purchase Agreement for a period of five years of performance, which includes five, one-year ordering periods.

a. Survey Readiness Services: The contractor shall provide a limited range of survey readiness services (Mock TJC EOC/LS Survey) to include accreditation-related services that are offered and conducted on a scheduled basis in the areas of EC and LS.

SECTION C - CONTRACT CLAUSES

C.1 52.204-21 BASIC SAFEGUARDING OF COVERED CONTRACTOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (JUN 2016)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause— Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public Web sites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures. (1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.

(v) Identify information system users, processes acting on behalf of users, or devices.

(vi) Authenticate (or verify) the identities of those users, processes, or devices, as a prerequisite to allowing access to organizational information systems.

(vii) Sanitize or destroy information system media containing Federal Contract Information before disposal or release for reuse.

(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(x) Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications (i.e., information transmitted or received by organizational information systems) at the external boundaries and key internal boundaries of the information systems.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.

(End of Clause)

C.2 52.212-4 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2018)

(a) Inspection/Acceptance. The Contractor shall only tender for acceptance those items that conform to the requirements of this contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price. If repair/replacement or reperformance will not correct the defects or is not possible, the Government may seek an equitable price reduction or adequate consideration for acceptance of nonconforming supplies or services. The Government must exercise its post-acceptance rights—

(1) Within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered; and

(2) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

(b) Assignment. The Contractor or its assignee may assign its rights to receive payment due as a result of performance of this contract to a bank, trust company, or other financing institution, including any Federal lending agency in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3727). However, when a third party makes payment (e.g., use of the Governmentwide commercial purchase card), the Contractor may not assign its rights to receive payment under this contract.

(c) Changes. Changes in the terms and conditions of this contract may be made only by written agreement of the parties.

(d) Disputes. This contract is subject to 41 U.S.C. chapter 71, Contract Disputes. Failure of the parties to this contract to reach agreement on any request for equitable adjustment, claim, appeal or action arising under or relating to this contract shall be a dispute to be resolved in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.233-1, Disputes, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any dispute arising under the contract.

(e) Definitions. The clause at FAR 52.202-1, Definitions, is incorporated herein by reference.

(f) Excusable delays. The Contractor shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor and without its fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common carriers. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to the Contracting Officer of the cessation of such occurrence.

(g) Invoice.

(1) The Contractor shall submit an original invoice and three copies (or electronic invoice, if authorized) to the address designated in the contract to receive invoices. An invoice must include—

(i) Name and address of the Contractor;

(ii) Invoice date and number;

(iii) Contract number, line item number and, if applicable, the order number;

(iv) Description, quantity, unit of measure, unit price and extended price of the items delivered;

(v) Shipping number and date of shipment, including the bill of lading number and weight of shipment if shipped on Government bill of lading;

(vi) Terms of any discount for prompt payment offered;

(vii) Name and address of official to whom payment is to be sent;

(viii) Name, title, and phone number of person to notify in event of defective invoice; and

(ix) Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). The Contractor shall include its TIN on the invoice only if required elsewhere in this contract.
