PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Testing, Certification, Environmental Monitoring, and HEPA Filtration Services

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center (RLRVAMC) requires recurring inspection, testing, certification, environmental monitoring, preventive service, and filter work for laboratory containment equipment, Pharmacy engineering controls and controlled environments, Research equipment, and selected Engineering HEPA filtration systems. The services support patient safety, employee safety, infection prevention, pharmaceutical compounding compliance, and reliable operation of critical ventilation and containment systems.

2.0 OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

The Contractor shall furnish all qualified personnel, supervision, labor, test equipment, calibrated instruments, materials, consumables, transportation, reports, labels, videos, disposal services, and incidentals required for scheduled recurring work. Pharmacy: certify five primary engineering controls (PECs) to ISO Class 5 specifications or better, certify three ISO Class 7 rooms, perform environmental monitoring, replace prefilters, service diffusers, and test 10 ceiling/pass-through HEPA filters. Laboratory (P&LMS): service 18 active assets—13 Class II Type A2 BSCs, four chemical fume hoods, and one grossing station.
Research: service all 60 inventory entries—36 chemical fume hoods, 20 BSCs, two LFWS units, one hypoxia chamber, and one mini BSC/special containment device. Engineering: annually inspect and test 24 HEPA filters in AHU 37A/37B, six HEPA filters in AHU 46, and two terminal HEPA filters in Operating Room 5 served by AHU 38. The equipment inventories in Appendices A through D are part of the scope. Unlisted equipment is outside the scope of this contract.

2.1 Explicit Scope Boundaries

The AHU 37A/37B filters are the 24-filter bank serving the 9 operating rooms; they are not an additional set of 24 filters in each operating room.
The AHU 46 filters are the six 30-inch by 30-inch by 12-inch-deep HEPA filters serving the Cardiology procedure room.
Operating Room 5 is served by AHU 38. AHU 38 contains no central HEPA filters; the two HEPA filters in scope are terminal filters located in Operating Room 5 and are separate from the AHU 37A/37B filter bank. Operating room and Cardiology room relationships are provided for system identification and outage coordination. Except for the terminal-filter and room-performance measurements expressly required for Operating Room 5 in Section 8.5, general room certification, air-change verification, pressure testing, or
