1 BACKGROUND

On April 27, 1988, Department of the Interior (DOI) established their Drug-Free Workplace Program which created a need for drug testing services; including the analysis of urine specimens to detect the presence of illegal drugs.

After the inception of the program, DOI allowed other federal agencies, organizations, commissions, and/or foundations to utilize its scheduling, collections, and test results contract to accomplish their own Drug-Free Workplace Program objectives. This allowed most of the Government’s needs to be consolidated, resulting in lower prices being secured by the Government and reduced the number of federal acquisition offices being involved in the award and maintenance of the contract. Approximately 70 federal entities herein referred to as participating Agencies or Government, will be obtaining services from this award.

The solicitation is issued by DOI and the participating Agencies shall be identified at the time of contract award.

2 SCOPE

The Government conducts drug and alcohol testing as required and regulated by the Health & Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to detect the presence of marijuana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines and phencyclidine (PCP) (and other illicit or abused substances) and to deter illegal drug use by their employees. Commonly needed test types include pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion/cause, post-accident, return to duty, and follow-up (or for other reasons as needed)

The scope of this contract is limited to scheduling, testing, and tracking of drug and alcohol tests, MRO duties, nationwide and international collections, and support services to include testimony when required.

This Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract may be used by DOI and the Agencies. DOI reserves the right to add additional or remove agencies via modification after contract award.

3 REQUIREMENTS

3.1 GENERAL

The Collection’s contractor shall facilitate scheduling, testing, and tracking of drug and alcohol testing when ordered by the Government through the issuance of Task Orders. The contractor shall also perform the duties of the MRO for the drug tests ordered through the contract.

This contract also provides for urine, oral fluid, and breath (for breath alcohol testing) collections nationwide and internationally for a quantity o,000 tests and results. The contractor shall be able to provide on-site collection services. The contractor shall be capable of providing MRO services and maintain an internet-based application (referred to as the Drug Testing System where customers can track their collections.) The contractor shall have the capability for their MRO, collection, or administrative staff to travel and provide testimony when required.

The Government may perform their own drug and alcohol collections in-house (collections performed by Agency personnel). Federal offices shall be able to enter in-house donor collection information on the contractor’s internet-based Drug Testing System (DTS) and the data shall match up with its corresponding records imported from the lab and MRO.

The Contractor shall provide to the Government for the collection of urine and oral fluid specimens and breath alcohol collections for all types of drug and alcohol testing under the HHS and DOT programs. Also, the Contractor shall provide to the Government all labor, materials, and equipment except that provided herein as "Government Furnished," necessary for the collection and transportation of the specimens from the collection Contractor to the Contractor collection sites to the Government Contract Drug Testing Laboratory.

The Contractor shall be required to perform and comply with all applicable provisions of HHS’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and DOT’s regulations. The guidelines and procedures may be routinely updated for the purpose of providing additional guidance. The Contractor shall be required to comply with current guidelines and procedures, and updates as furnished by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). To the extent that any of the requirements in this contract are inconsistent with any of those specified in the Mandatory Guidelines promulgated by HHS, DOT procedures, or other pertinent regulations from governing Federal agencies, or any subsequent amendment thereto, such HHS Guidelines and DOT procedures or amendment shall supersede the requirements specified in this contract, but only to the extent of the inconsistency. The Contractor is required to notify the COR and Contracting Officer of the inconsistency within three days of identification.

The Collections Contractor is required to work with DOI’s other contractor that provides Laboratory Analysis services. The two companies shall have daily contact, work closely together, and rely on one another to help DOI and the Agencies accomplish their program needs.

Due to statutory chain of custody requirements, the scheduling, specimen collection, and Medical Review Officer (MRO) requirement (Collection & MRO) must be provided under a contract separate from the Laboratory Analysis Services requirement. Therefore, two separate contracts will be performed by different contractors.

The Contractor shall also provide non-regulated testing. This testing shall be performed on bodily fluids (whichever specimens have been approved by HHS for testing) for the presence of at least the 5-drug test panel or the current HHS approved panel. Non-regulated testing should mirror HHS and DOT testing but take place on a non-federal CCF.

3.1.1 REQUIRED SERVICES

For nationwide collections and international collections, the Contractor shall provide collection services for all types of HHS and DOT and non-regulated drug and alcohol testing in the United States and its territories within 20 miles of the Government employee or applicant using an already established network of collection sites. If there is no medical or collection facility within 20 miles of the employee or applicant then, as requested by the Government the Contractor shall attempt to establish a new site at the closest facility to the employee or applicant. All collections for donors shall be accomplished in a physician's office, hospital, medical clinic, Government facilities selected by the Federal office, or similar setting. All collection locations must meet HHS and DOT regulations for collection sites.

Collections in public establishments or personal residences are not authorized. An exception to this rule shall be approved by the appropriate Agency before the collection is made.

The collection facility and staff shall be flexible to accommodate employees whose tour of duty is different than normal duty hours, e. g., 2:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. This may involve rescheduling staff hours earlier or later on specific collection days to provide services at the beginning of the evening shift (2:00 p.m.) or at the end of the night shift (6:00 a.m.).

Other unique requirements may include providing collections for all shifts in a 24-hour period, and on weekends.

The Government will provide the Contractor with electronic requests (e.g., names, partial social security numbers, telephone numbers, and the proposed collection city and state of agency employees and applicants) submitted through DTS in order to schedule drug and alcohol test collections. The Contractor shall be able to receive drug and alcohol test requests electronically via the DTS.

When an alcohol test is required, it will be administered at the same time and at the same location as the scheduled drug test.

Contractor shall ensure the availability of collection services 24 hours a day/7 days a week at testing locations in the event post-accident or reasonable suspicion testing is required at off-site and/or on-site locations.

All emergency testing requests (post-accident and reasonable suspicion) shall be routed through a toll-free emergency request number to be provided by the contractor.

Alcohol testing shall be completed within two hours of notification to the Contractor for post-accident testing, and within two hours of notification to the Contractor for reasonable suspicion testing.

The Government must be able to designate whether all or some of the DTS users in their organization are able to select, schedule, and view all or some of the drug/alcohol test types and results.

Also, the Government must be able to generate a report and file for a specific date range that will send all data record information to a printable file (in pdf, excel, and txt format). In addition, an audit trail record (for 2 years) must be provided in the DTS to track the random selections, percentages or numbers selected, and cancellations.

The random generator must provide a feature in DTS to allow the Government to print an acknowledgement of selection form for each random drug test (for both HHS and DOT program). Training must be provided via the HELP menu in the current DTS system.

The DTS shall have screens and functionality to allow users to review random selections, review open randoms, and view random statistical reports.

The review random selections function shall allow users to review all random selections; and have fields allowing selection by user level; SSN; date range; tested for (ie; drug; alcohol;

both); test mode (ie; HHS; DOT); retrieve (ie; online; printed; download versions); and whether to include notification letter. Once criteria is provided and data is retrieved; DTS shall display fields for SSN; name; userid; test mode; tested for; status; date selected; misc info.

Clicking on field heading names must sort data by alpha or numeric.
