All doses must be compounded and calibrated by or under the supervision of a certified Nuclear Pharmacist and prepared within the required guidelines of the Board of Pharmacy, specifically USP and USP as appropriate. The contractor must follow generally accepted industry standards and the regulations of the applicable governing bodies, which may include the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), and The Joint Commission (JC). Delivery requirement: The contractor must support both routine and emergent orders (Emergencies). Emergencies may be requested during and outside of regular work hours (Monday through Friday, 06:30 a.m. 4:30 p.m.) and require delivery within 120 minutes after receipt of a phoned, faxed, or electronic order from the VA.
