Hood Certification and Testing
The Portland VA Medical Center requires testing, balancing, and certification of biological safety cabinets, chemical fume hoods, laminar flow clean benches, and compounding rooms. The work will be performed at two locations: the Portland VA Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, and the Vancouver VA Medical Center in Vancouver, Washington. The contractor must be NSF-49 accredited and have a minimum of 18 months of specific testing experience. A key requirement is maintaining a maximum response time of 24 hours for any necessary repairs. The contractor must also comply with all applicable Federal and State OSHA safety regulations.
