EXHIBIT B WVVNF DRUG POLICY 2025.pdf

This is an Exhibit B Drug Policy document for the West Virginia Vendor Network Forum (WVVNF) for 2025, applicable to all vendors and contractors participating in the consortium. The policy establishes comprehensive drug and alcohol testing requirements and procedures for vendors, subcontractors, and their employees engaged in state and local contract work. The document outlines mandatory drug screening protocols, testing procedures, frequency of testing, substances screened, and consequences for positive results or non-compliance. The policy applies to all individuals performing work under WVVNF contracts and establishes baseline standards that vendors must implement and maintain throughout the contract term.

The policy mandates that all covered personnel undergo pre-employment drug testing and may be subject to reasonable suspicion testing, random testing, and post-incident testing as determined by the contracting agency or vendor. The document specifies testing methodologies, chain-of-custody procedures, and medical review officer protocols to ensure accuracy and fairness. Positive test results or refusal to submit to testing can result in immediate termination of employment and potential removal from contract work. The policy establishes a standardized approach across WVVNF member agencies to ensure consistent drug-free workplace standards and maintains compliance with applicable West Virginia and federal regulations governing substance abuse testing in government contracting.
