Columbia, SC 29209
Delivery: Nuclear Medicine (secured receiving area), room LB 140
5. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Diagnostic radioactive isotopes have a short shelf life and must be delivered on a daily; doses ordered specific for each patient study. The use of a local Contractor is required due to the short half-life of the radioisotopes. The Contractor shall have the delivery capabilities to provide doses when needed. The VA Medical Center needs the capability to perform nuclear scans immediately when procedures are added during the day, whether an emergency or a new diagnosis. The Contractor shall deliver the radiopharmaceuticals provided in the Schedule/Price Sheet to the Nuclear Medicine Department no more than one hour after the order has been placed.
The vendor agrees to perform these services with that standard care, skill, and diligence normally provided by a professional organization in the performance of similar services. It is understood that the contractor must perform the services based, in part, on information furnished by the William Jennings Byron Dorn VA Medical Center. However, the vendor is given notice that the Medical Center will be relying on the accuracy, competence and completeness of the contractor s services in utilizing the results of such services.
Request will be placed daily, if required, for next day and or same day delivery during normal working hours of 6:00am 4:30pm Monday through Friday excluding Federal Holidays. Federal Holidays are New Year s Day, Martin Luther King Jrs Birthday, Washington s Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran s Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday will be observed as a legal holiday. When a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is observed by U.S. Government agencies. (A contractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay in accordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4174).
The Vendor will provide accurate emergency phone contact information for orders that are placed after normal working hours. All items are to be delivered to the Nuclear Medicine Department as specified above.
The William Jennings Bryon Dorn VA Medical Center requires credit statements (itemized returned doses) and monthly invoices. An electronic daily dose tracking system should be available for the Medical Center s use in certifying and tracking per patient doses delivered. There will be no additional fees added to the invoices outside of the schedule/price list that is provided by the vendor. This includes delivery fees, daily fees, service fees, dose prep fees, and dose disposal fees.
Copies of the Quality Control Information on the shipping certificate are to be sent daily to the Nuclear Medicine Section, William Jennings Bryan Dorn VA Medical Center Columbia, South Carolina.
The vendor must provide evidence that they have the ability to provide TC-99m from facilities that produce non-HEU (High Enriched Uranium) radioisotopes. *** NOTE***ALL Technectium-99m (Tc-99m) SHALL BE PROCURED FROM NON-High Enriched Uranium (HEU) companies. HEUs shall be accepted in the event NON-HEUs are not available.

Delivery Requirement: Contractor must be able to deliver within 1 hour of receipt of a request for those radioactive isotopes listed in the Schedule which have a limited shelf life.
The use of a local Contractor is required due to the short half-life of the radioisotopes. The Contractor shall have the delivery capabilities to provide doses when needed. The VA Medical Center needs the capability to perform nuclear scans immediately when procedures are added during the day, whether an emergency or a new diagnosis. The Contractor shall deliver the radiopharmaceuticals provided in the Schedule/Price Sheet to the Nuclear Medicine Department no more than one hour after the order has been placed.
Orders may be placed orally, in writing, or by electronic means. Specific personnel authorized to place orders under this contract will be designated in writing upon award of the contract.
The schedule contained herein list the most commonly used radioactive isotopes, with the estimate quantities for each contract period.
If the Contractor cannot supply a required radioisotope listed on the Schedule, VA may obtain the requirement from another source.
If a previous provided radioisotope did not meet Quality Control (QC) standards for imaging purposes, for reasons such as, but not limited to, (1) unusable diagnostic results (2) repeat imaging/treatment or (3) a delay of patient services, VA may obtain the requirement from another source until the Contractor can satisfactorily provide the required radioisotopes and ensure the cited problem has been corrected.
Radiopharmaceuticals shall be prepared in accordance with state and federal regulations governing the receipt, handling, preparation and delivery of these isotopes for human use.
Contractor shall provide verification of a valid radioactive material license issues by the SC State Department of Health/Division of Radiological Health or the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Proof of such licensure will be considered as verification that the Contractor has approved distribution procedures in place to ensure security of radioisotopes during receipt, preparation and delivery, as well as required training for delivery personnel and any others that may come in contact with radiopharmaceuticals.
Contractor shall provide its Quality Management Program (QMP). This program shall include, but not be limited to:
The Contractors procedure for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals
Where preparation of radiopharmaceuticals is carried out
QC guidelines the Contractor follows for the dispensing of radiopharmaceuticals for human use
Verification of the steps followed to test labeling efficiency of radiopharmaceutical kits and frequency of this testing
Contractor shall provide the protocol followed (such as FDA and or professional standards or guidelines) in determining expiration time or date on radiopharmaceutical doses. Contractor shall provide steps followed to ensure purity and sterility during preparation of radiopharmaceuticals. In addition, Contractor shall state what procedures or guidelines are followed to ensure an aseptic environment. VA requires Contractor to provide guarantee of the quality and efficacy of labeled compounds (radiopharmaceuticals), in addition the Contractor shall declare the steps taken daily to ensure such efficacy. The QMP shall include the procedure used by the Contractor in the dispensing, packaging, and delivery of radiopharmaceuticals.
Contractor shall be OSHA compliant. OSHA needle stick legislation requires that healthcare facilities must:
Annually update their Exposure Control Plan (ECP)
Use appropriate sharps devices or needleless systems
Solicit frontline employee input to assist in the identification, evaluation, and selection of new technology
Establish sharps injury log to better track needle sticks
To further ensure safety, Contractor shall:
Meet application regulatory requirements for USP <795>, USP <797>, USP <823>, and cGMP Part 212.
Ensure the integrity of each prescription by complying with stringent internal quality processes and standard operating procedures.
Offer quality and safety-related continuing education (CE s) courses on USP <797>, cGMP and radiation safety principles for the nuclear technologist.
Utilize safety products, to protect against needle sticks and contamination from blood borne pathogens.
Use adequate syringe shields, to reduce radiation exposure.
