This document is a Questions and Answers file (Solicitation Number 36C25926Q0056) for a pharmacy certification project. The Q&A covers details about a pharmacy compounding area, including room specifications, equipment, and testing requirements. Key details include:

The pharmacy suite consists of three rooms: an Ante Room (81 sq ft), a Non-Hazardous Buffer Room (62 sq ft), and a Hazardous Buffer Room (52 sq ft). The facility has two Nuaire NU-430-400 hoods (one in the Pharmacy, one in the Lab) and one Baker Edgeguard EG-6320 hood in the Pharmacy. The air handling system includes 4 HEPA filters, with additional HEPA filters in specified hoods. A Class II, Type B2 biosafety cabinet in Room 160-O is part of the certification scope. Certification requirements include air and surface sampling every 6 months, following CETA standards, with a detailed surface sampling sheet provided. The project involves recertification testing, potential post-maintenance retesting, and ensuring proper air changes per hour in the pharmacy spaces.
