DESCRIPTION

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Southern Nevada VA Healthcare System, intends to award a firm-fixed-price, sole source contract to Technical Safety Services (TSS) for specialized cleanroom certification, environmental monitoring, and testing services required for multiple pharmacy and compounding areas within the medical center.

TSS is the only known vendor capable of providing all required semi‑annual, annual, and monthly testing services in accordance with USP <797>, USP <800>, CETA standards, and VA healthcare performance requirements. These services include airflow and leak testing, particle counting, airflow visualization studies, viable air and surface sampling, room pressure and air exchange verification, laminar flow unit and isolator certification, and preparation of formal compliance documentation.

Based on the Government’s market research and previous performance history, no other vendor has demonstrated the ability to meet all required service frequencies, technical specifications, compliance standards, and facility‑specific operational needs.
