The Contractor’s medical provider (MD, PA, NP) and contractor will review the roster of employee exams and procedures, sign-off, date the exams and procedures, and return signed document within 2 business days of confirmation of contract, to establish written medical orders and contractors’ responsibility to fulfill the same. Any addition or removal of exams or procedures will be in consultation with the NYARNG Occupational Health Nurse (OHN) / Project Officer.
1.2. Background: The purpose of the NYARNG Mobile Occupational Medical Examination Program is to provide job-related medical surveillance examinations and occupational health services to NYARNG qualifying full-time support (FTS), part-time and temporary civilian technicians who are potentially exposed to health hazards in the work environment or who are assigned to positions requiring specific standards of physical fitness. The primary focus for FY24 will be: (1) evaluation of need for respirator in performance of duties, pulmonary function tests as needed, medical clearance, and respirator fit testing. Respirator fit testing and medical clearance will occur on approximately twelve (12) individuals. (2) Hearing testing, including otoscopic exams prior to testing, instruction to use of hearing PPE (plugs, muffs, caps, etc.) to include determining when to use protection, how to select the correct PPE, when double protection is to be used, donning / doffing, and maintenance of hearing protection. This may be provided in the form of a handout.
In addition to above, Medical Surveillance will include:
Vital Signs: Including height, weight, pulse, blood pressure.
Vision exams: Including distance, near, depth perception and field of vision. New employees will also receive color vision testing.
Laboratory tests: Including Urinalysis, Complete Blood Counts, Complete Blood Count w/ Differential, Comprehensive Metabolic Panels.
Updates to the medical surveillance roster will be provided to contractor at least 3 days before the start of the POP. The contractor shall conduct each for the quoted per test price provided in the quote and established in the contract. The government may evaluate the quality of professional and administrative services provided but retains no control over the medical professional aspects of services rendered. The contractor shall provide all labor, tools, supervision and supplies to conduct mobile medical surveillance / occupational health services for the NYARNG.
1.3. Period of Performance (PoP): The PoP shall be a total of thirty (30) days from 03 December 2024 – 02 January 2025. The specified exam days will be from 03 December
