STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
Specimen Collections for U.S. Secret Service
Part 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Introduction: The United States Secret Service (USSS) Safety, Health & Environmental Programs Division is to service all employees with the highest degree of vigilance and care. The mission is to protect and promote employee safety, health and wellness, support operations and enhance resiliency and ensure medical readiness of the workforce.
1.1 Background: The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and the President’s Executive Order (E.O.) 12564 address the goals of establishing a drug-free workplace for the public and private sector. The E.O. 12564 directed agencies to establish a program to test for the use of illegal drugs by employees in sensitive positions. The United States Secret Service (USSS) Drug Deterrence Program (DDP) is implemented in instructions. The USSS conducts urinalysis testing to detect and deter illegal drug usage by its employees.
1.2 Objectives: U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Safety, Health and Environmental Program Division (SAF) requires a new, firm fixed price contract to acquire certified collectors.
1.3 Scope: The contractor shall provide appropriate personnel and supplies to collect urine specimens from USSS employees and applicants for USSS positions. Note: all positions in the USSS are sensitive positions and subject to random drug testing. The minimum testing rate for random drug testing is 10%.
1.4. Specific Tasks:
1.4.1. Administrative Functions.
The contractor shall maintain on staff a primary collector and an alternate collector specifically for the USSS. The collectors shall have previously been approved through the USSS background check cited in paragraph D of this SOW. The contractor shall provide only one (1) collector for all collections and at least
(3) back-up collectors.
At the inception of the contract, the contractor shall provide the USSS Drug Program Manager (DPM) and/or Program Support Specialist (PSS) with a phone number for contacting the contractor during business hours, a cell number, a fax number, and e-mail address. The contractor shall be available for contact daily on normal workdays, which is defined as Monday through Friday (except federal holidays), between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The contractor shall be available on the weekends to support USSS hiring events.
The contractor shall have a formal training program established for contractor personnel involved in urine collection and urine transportation in accordance with the USSS DDP procedures and DHHS Guidelines.
All collection personnel assigned to this contract shall have successfully passed this training program. If DHHS mandates a new training program, the contractor shall ensure that all collection personnel take and pass the mandatory training program. The contractor shall have appropriate follow-on training established for collectors when collections are not tested due to fatal flaw or correctable flaw collection, and when DPM and/or PSS deems collector’s performance or behavior is inappropriate. Training must include formal instruction, mock/practice collections, observation of an experience collector at a random testing collection event and instruction on security of information and documents. The contractor shall document training and retain records of all collector training, which may be reviewed by the DPM and/or PSS upon request.
The contractor shall have a Drug-Free Workplace Program which includes random testing.
The contractor shall provide identification badges and laboratory coats to collectors. The badges must at a minimum provide the contractor’s employee’s name and the name of the contractor and must be suitable to wear on a laboratory coat or other clothing. The laboratory coats may be white, or any other color typically found in a medical setting and must be worn during performance of collections.
The contractor shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all licenses required in the accomplishment of the work specified. The contractor shall work with the DPM and/or PSS to obtain USSS passes/clearance for the collectors.
The contractor shall meet with the DPM and/or PSS on a quarterly basis to discuss contract performance issues. Meetings shall be in person or by conference call, which will be determined by the DPM and/or PSS. Serious contract performance issues may require additional meetings with the contractor, DPM and/or PSS and Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO). Day-to-day problems with collection personnel will be handled through memos and electronic messages to the contractor.
1.4.2. Collection Site(s)
The Government collection site is the location for specified USSS employees or applicants to present themselves for the purpose of providing their urine specimens under controlled conditions. Collection sites shall be designated by the DPM and/or PSS. Generally, the collection site will be at one of three duty USSS locations in the DC Metro Area. All collections will be performed at a government site, unless otherwise authorized by the DPM and/or PSS.
The contractor shall be responsible for preparing the restrooms for collection activities, which may include taping all water sources. The contractor shall provide the tape and pens for use by themselves and the donor. The USSS will provide bluing agent, thermometer, Federal Custody & Control Forms (CCF), and collection kits.
The contractor shall ensure that the portion of the facility being used for collection is secured during drug collection operations and shall not let any unauthorized personnel in any part of the collection site where urine specimens are collected or stored.
In the exceptional event where the Government’s designated collection site is not accessible, and where there is a requirement for immediate specimen collection, a public restroom may be used. The contractor shall secure the public restroom as he/she would other areas. The contractor may be required to perform collections under the circumstances of reasonable suspicion and post-accident at the donor activity location or another location (e.g. hospital) specified by the DPM and/or PSS. The DPM and/or PSS coordinating with site personnel will have final approval of the collection site.
If there are disagreements as to whether the collection site meets the contract requirements, the DPM and/or PSS determination shall be final.
1.4.3. Scheduling Collections
For purposes of this contract ‘collection event’ is defined as a group of collections (or a single collection if those are the requirements of the DPM and/or PSS) scheduled at a single site on the same day and time).
The contractor shall be required to perform collections at any time during a 24-hour day and any day of the week.
The DPM and/or PSS is responsible for managing the actual scheduling, rescheduling of the dates and times and sites of collection events, and individual collections with the contractor. The DPM and/or PSS shall notify the contractor of collection dates and time using a form developed by the DPM and/or PSS and the contractor. The form can be sent to the contractor via fax or e-mail.
The contractor will notify the DPM and/or PSS within 24 hours after the receipt of the requested test order to resolve scheduling conflicts and confirm the collection time and date. The DPM and/or PSS shall perform all donor notifications. The Contractor shall not unilaterally cancel or reschedule a collection.
If a donor(s) is unable to provide a specimen when first requested, the contractor shall follow the shy bladder procedures in the Urine Specimen Collection Handbook for the New Federal Custody and Control Form. The donor is required to remain at the collection site (up to 3 hours) until ready to provide a specimen. When a donor is unable to provide a specimen, the following procedures shall apply:
(a) When other collections are scheduled at the same location to be performed by the collector prior to leaving the site, the contractor shall perform these collections while waiting for the unsuccessful donor to provide a specimen.
(b) The contractor need not wait more than three (3) hours beyond the last collection for a donor to provide a specimen at a government collection site. The contractor may impose a penalty fee to the USSS for additional waiting time. The penalty will equal one (1) test (of the type being collected) per 30 minutes of wait time. The waiting time will start 30 minutes after the last collection. The USSS’ liability shall not exceed the price of eight (8) collections (four hours). If the donor provides a specimen within 30 minutes of the last collection the penalty will not be imposed.
(c) The DPM and/or PSS may, at their option, order the contractor to cancel the collection at any time. The above wait time penalties that have been surpassed will be imposed.
During a collection event at a government collection site, the DPM and/or PSS or designated representative will normally be present to answer any donor questions during the collection process or in the event of a shy bladder situation. If the DPM and/or PSS cannot be present, a telephone or other means of contacting the DPM must be made available to the collector. The collector shall document any problems occurring during a collection and forward them to the USSS DPM and/or PSS.
Although every effort is made to complete collections on the date and time scheduled, there are a variety of circumstances requiring postponement and rescheduling of collections. If the DPM and/or PSS must cancel on-site collections after it has been scheduled and confirmed with the collector, they shall do so as early as practicable, but in any case, at least 24 hours before the scheduled collection event. Collections must be canceled by telephone either confirming verbally with the prime contractor or by leaving a voice message or via email confirming receipt. If the cancellation is after normal working hours, Eastern Standard Time (normal working hours are defined in section 4.2), the DPM and/or PSS shall contact the contractor by phone. Penalties may be imposed on the USSS for Government site collections cancelled in less than 24 hours. The penalty will be one test of the type scheduled.
When a collection event must be rescheduled, the DPM and/or PSS, and the contractor must determine a new collection date. The rescheduling date is normally within two (2) weeks of the original scheduled date.
In the event the contractor arrives at the Government collection site on schedule, but no donor is present, ready, and available for a collection, the USSS shall pay the contractor the contract price for one of the type of tests scheduled for the first complete 30 minutes that no donor is present, ready, and available for collection. The USSS’s liability is limited to the price of one test. After one hour of delay the contractor, at its option, may leave the site.
In the event the contractor does not arrive for the first scheduled collection in a timely manner and is not ready to begin collections at the scheduled time, the contractor will be liable for liquidated damages for one
(1) of the type of test of collections scheduled for every 15 minutes the collector is not ready to a maximum liability of two (2) collections. If the collector does not appear at the USSS collection site, the contractor will be liable for two (2) of the types of collections scheduled.
1.4.4 Collection Procedures
The USSS conducts six types of tests: Random; Voluntary; Reasonable Suspicion; Accident or Unsafe Practice; Follow-up; and Pre-Employment. The contractor shall perform split specimen collections for all of the aforementioned circumstances.
The contractor shall adhere to all collection procedures at the Government collection site, and shall follow the DHHS Guidelines, Subpart A, Section 2.2 Specimen Collection Procedures.
The contractor shall ensure that personnel assigned to perform urine specimen collections are aware of the sensitivity of the testing program and deal with the donors in a professional manner similar to expectations in a routine medical care setting, e.g. a physician’s office. Collection personnel shall be able to answer routine questions about collections procedures. Any questions concerning receipt of drug testing results must be directed to the DPM and/or PSS.
The collector shall arrive at the Government collection site not later than 15 minutes before collections are scheduled to begin in order to prepare the site and be ready to perform collections at the scheduled time.
The collector shall provide identification to the DPM and/or PSS. The DPM and/or PSS will provide the collector with a list of donors and their arrival time.
Upon the donor’s arrival at the Government collection site, the collector shall identify themselves to the donor and request the donor to present some type of photo identification. If the donor does not have proper identification, the collector shall determine if the DPM and/or PSS can positively identify the donor.
If a scheduled donor has not reported for collection within two (2) hours after their scheduled time, the collector shall notify the DPM and/or PSS.
Upon receiving the specimen container from the donor, the collector shall determine whether it contains at least 45 milliliters of urine and preferably 60 milliliters of urine. If there is not sufficient urine, the collector shall instruct the donor that a second specimen is required, to drink fluids and tell him/her where to wait until ready to provide another specimen. The collector shall instruct the donor to always stay in sight of the collector or DPM and/or PSS. When a second specimen is collected, the collector shall note on the CCF the time of the insufficient specimen was discarded (e.g. insufficient specimen 1315) in the remarks section of the CCF.
If the donor is unable to provide a specimen, the collector shall instruct the donor to drink fluids and tell him/her where to wait until ready to provide a specimen. If the collector encounters a problem with the donor, the collector shall notify the DPM and/or PSS immediately.
Immediately after collection, the collector shall, in the presence of the donor, measure the temperature of the specimen and conduct an inspection to determine the specimen’s color and odor to identify signs of contaminants. The collector shall include any unusual findings resulting from the inspection on the CCF. If the temperature of the specimen is outside the range of 32-38 C/90-100 F, the collector shall consult with the DPM and/or PSS for approval to take another specimen under direct observation. If the temperature of specimen is outside the range and the collector is not the same gender, the DPM and/or PSS will select the same gender observer. The collector shall forward both specimens to the laboratory for testing per DHHS Guidelines, Subpart B, 2.2, (f)(15).
At the direction of the collector, the donor and the collector should always keep the specimen in view prior to it being sealed and labeled. The collector shall direct the donor to initial and date the identification label on the specimen bottle. If the donor does not follow these directions the collector will write a memorandum for the record (MFR) stating that the donor was directed to write his/her initials on the label and did not do as requested. The collector shall enclose the MFR with the CCF copy and send it to the laboratory.
The contractor shall monitor collection activities as required for quality assurance and shall evaluate the work of the collectors.
1.4.5. Identification and Recording of Specimens
The contractor shall use the Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (CCF), OMB No. 0930-5678 or succeeding forms. The collector shall ensure that the identification labels on specimen bottles shall contain the date, the donor’s initials and a specimen ID number and a bar code (specimen ID number) and shall ensure that the kit box/bag seal contains the collector’s initials and date. The CCF must also include the donor’s last four digits of the social security number (SSN), which if the donor refuses to provide his/her SSN, the last four of the SSN shall be provided by the USSS DPM and/or PSS.
The contractor shall distribute the CCF as follows: Copy 1 must be sent with the specimen to the laboratory via overnight delivery; Copy 2 must be given to the USSS DPM and/or PSS for proper distribution to the MRO; Copy 3 must be retained by the collector; Copy 4 must be given to the USSS DPM and/or PSS; and Copy 5 must be given to the donor at the time of the collection.
In the event that errors in the completion of the CCF are made by collection personnel and these errors cannot be corrected by affidavit and result in the rejection of the specimen for testing by the laboratory, the contractor will be responsible for the cost equal to the number and type of collections plus one (1) (e.g., if 10 specimens were collected for random testing and one CCF was completed incorrectly and could not be corrected by affidavit, the contractor shall be responsible for liquidated damages in the amount of two (2) random test collections. If errors made can be corrected by affidavit, the contractor shall provide the affidavit by correcting the error to the lab or MRO.
1.4.6. Specimen Security and Record Keeping
The collector shall utilize strict chain of custody procedures to ensure that each urine specimen is properly identified and not accidentally be confused with any other specimen. The collector shall ensure that all urine specimens and custody documents are always under the total control of the collector. If the collector must leave his or her workstation, the specimens and custody forms must be taken with the collector or must be secured. The collector shall make every effort to minimize the number of people handling the specimens to maximize the overall security of the specimens.
The contractor shall utilize the CCF for the purpose of maintaining control and accountability from initial collection to final disposition of all specimens, and the form must adhere to HHS specifications. The form must identify the specimen through use of information, which matches label items, a unique number assigned to each urine specimen obtained, and bar coding.
The contractor shall establish and maintain the records generated under the performance of this contract in a secure filing system and maintain these records for a minimum of two (2) years. The contractor shall notify the DPM and/or PSS and/or PSS of any actual or attempted breach of security either with the hard copy or electronic files.
The contractor shall destroy records in a manner that precludes any unauthorized release of information and shall provide documentation of destruction to the DPM and/or PSS.
The contractor shall receive DPM and/or PSS approval of all documents or forms used in collection of urine for testing before use.
1.4.7. Supplies
The government shall provide the following supplies in the performance of this contract: catch containers, individually wrapped with temperature strip; specimen bottles, gloves; bluing agent; plastic pouch with absorbent pad; mailing boxes; Federal CCF (OMB #0930-0158).
