B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

Salient Characteristics

For IVX Workflow Management

(A) Functions to be performed;

• The system must provide automated support for both gravimetric (weight-based using specific gravity) and volumetric pharmacy compounding.

• The system must support having a drug file library. The vendor must provide a starting library, and the system must allow VA staff to add to or edit the library.

• The system must provide a way to weigh each individual component of the compounded medication for gravimetric compounding.

• The system must assist in achieving volumetric compounding accuracy, e.g., through picture capture and enhanced lighting/magnification features.

• The system must provide step-by-step instructions to compounding staff and document the performed steps. This documentation must be remotely viewable by a supervising pharmacist.

(B) Performance required;

• Gravimetric compounding must achieve an accuracy of more than 99%.

• The system must be a complete solution, not requiring a separate computer, keyboard, mouse, scale, etc. All components for gravimetric compounding must be provided by the vendor.

• All compounding steps must be capable of being entirely performed within the compounding laminar air flow hoods or biological safety cabinets. Compounding staff should not need to exit the hood to advance the workflow, e.g., by clicking through a computer.

• The system must have an expected usable life of at least 5 years.

(C) Essential physical characteristics; Dimensions (if applicable)

• The system must be constructed from materials appropriate for sterile compounding in compliance with USP 797 and USP 800 guidelines.

• The system must fit inside compounding laminar air flow hoods and biological safety cabinets without impeding the air flow in these cabinets or the room. It must be capable of fitting entirely in 4’ and 6’ laminar airflow hoods and biological safety cabinets.

o Options that extend outside of the compounding hood/cabinet will not be acceptable due to limited space in the satellite chemotherapy compounding pharmacy.

• The system must require minimal infrastructure support—approximately one power and one data line. Infrastructural changes in a certified compounding space are more costly compared to other spaces due to the precision needed in altering that space, the need to recertify the space, and the requirement to change the status of the room until recertification testing is completed

C.5 VAAR 852.204-72 PERSONNEL VETTING AND CREDENTIALING

(DEVIATION) (MAR 2026)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause –

VA Information system is the same as information system and means, pursuant to 38 U.S.C.

5727, a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information whether automated or manual.

VA sensitive information means all VA data, on any storage media or in any form or format, which requires protection due to the risk of harm that could result from inadvertent or deliberate disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the information and includes sensitive personal information. The term includes information where improper use or disclosure could adversely affect the ability of VA to accomplish its mission, information, records about individuals requiring protection under various confidentiality provisions such as the Privacy Act and the HIPAA Privacy Rule, and information that can be withheld under the Freedom of Information Act.

Examples of VA sensitive information include the following: individually-identifiable medical, benefits, and personnel information; financial, budgetary, research, quality assurance, confidential commercial, critical infrastructure, investigatory, and law enforcement information;

information that is confidential and privileged in litigation such as information protected by the deliberative process privilege, attorney work-product privilege, and the attorney client privilege;

and other information which, if released, could result in violation of law or harm or unfairness to any individual or group, or could adversely affect the national interest or the conduct of Federal programs.

(b) General. Contractor personnel assigned to work for or on behalf of VA must undergo a background investigation commensurate with the risk and sensitivity level designation associated with the work to be performed at the level indicated in the contract. The Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with VA Directive/Handbook 0710, Personnel Security and Suitability Program, which can be accessed at: https://vaww.va.gov/vapubs/index.cfm.

(c) Risk and Sensitivity Levels. The following table identifies the risk and sensitivity levels that apply to any personnel providing services under this contract. *VA Administrations, organizations and staff offices will use the OPM Position Designation Tool.

Positions/Tasks Designated as Non-Sensitive Positions – Tier 1/Low Risk

GS-0660-89 CLINICAL PHARMACY SPECIALIST LOW/TIER -1

Positions/Tasks Designated as Non-Sensitive Positions – Tier 2/Mod Risk

Positions/Tasks Designated as Non-Sensitive Positions – Tier 4/High Risk https://vaww.va.gov/vapubs/index.cfm https://pdt.nbis.mil/consent

Security clearances are granted to individuals with a specific requirement for access to material (for example, Confidential, Secret and Top Secret). Contractor personnel that are required to obtain a security clearance will be subject to a Tier 3 or Tier 5 investigation. The following sensitivity designations have been assigned for the identified Tier 3 and Tier 5 required by this contract:

Tier 3:

Tier 5:

(d) Fitness. The results from a background investigation are used to determine if an individual’s fitness is sufficient for that individual to perform work for or on behalf of VA in the position identified in this contract.

Fitness requirements for employment are separate and distinct from job qualifications. If a Contractor or subcontractor employee is found to be unsuitable or unfit to provide services under this contract, the Contractor shall immediately remove the employee from working on this contract and take those necessary steps that restrict the employee’s logical access to VA data, information, VA sensitive information, or information technology or VA information systems containing such data or information.

The Contractor shall advise the employee that they are not permitted to access any VA controlled building or real property in relation to this contract. The removal of an unfit Contractor or subcontractor employee does not alleviate the Contractor from satisfying the requirements of this contract. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for any costs associated with the recruitment/replacement of an employee or subcontractor employee who is found to be unfit.

(e) Identification Cards. The Government will provide a Personal Identification Verification (PIV) card or other identification card, as necessary, to fit Contractor personnel who require physical access to VA facilities and/or logical access to VA data, information, VA sensitive information, or information technology or VA information systems containing such data or information. Contractor and subcontractor personnel shall prominently display their PIV/identification card on their persons while working at a VA facility and shall present their PIV/identification card for inspection upon request by a VA official. The Contractor must surrender the employee or subcontractor employee’s PIV/identification card in accordance with the requirements set forth in Directive/Handbook 0735 when any of the following events occur:

1. When no longer needed for contract performance.

2. Upon completion of the Contractor/subcontractor employee’s employment.

3. Upon contract completion or termination.

(f) Lost/stolen. Immediately upon detection, the Contractor shall report a lost or stolen PIV/identification card to the Government authorities as identified in Directive/Handbook 0735.

Within 48 hours of reporting the lost/stolen PIV/identification card, the Contractor shall submit to the Program Manager an incident report that describes the relevant facts and circumstances regarding the loss/theft. If the loss/theft was reported by the Contractor to the local police, the Contractor shall further submit a copy of the final police report to the Program Manager within

48 hours of the report being made available by the local police department. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for any costs that result from lost/stolen PIV/identification card(s).

(g) Regular Reporting. The Contractor shall submit a status report to PIV Sponsor within 5 working days after the end of each calendar quarter and as requested by the Government in order to initiate contract closeout procedures. The report must provide the status of each contractor/subcontractor employee who is required to have a PIV/identification card during the performance of the contract. The report shall identify the Contractor and the contract number, and list the following status for each contractor/subcontractor employee who holds a PIV/identification card under this contract:

1. Contractor/subcontractor employee name.

2. Name of VA facility where Contractor/subcontractor employee works, if applicable.
