A. Background The National Wildlife Research Center houses numerous wet laboratories dedicated to infectious disease research, fertility control, forensic genetics, and environmental genetics. Each of these programs utilizes pipettes for liquid-based handling of samples. Accurately dispensing precise volumes of liquid is key to the studies and laboratory evaluations being conducted by these NWRC laboratories. As such, routine calibration of all NWRC pipettes is needed to ensure the quality of data and deliverables produced by NWRC laboratories.

B. Contractor Responsibility The contractor’s work and responsibility shall include:

• Maintenance and calibration of NWRC single channel and multi-channel pipettors.

o The single channel pipettes have an adjustable volume.

• Weight

• Volume

• Include warranty for calibration services. Any pipettes found to be out of specification within 1-month of calibration will be reserviced by the contractor at no additional cost to

NWRC.

The contract manager shall be available during normal work/duty hours, typically 0800 hrs. to 1600 hrs., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays.

C. Scope of Work Contractor shall provide calibration and maintenance services to single-channel and multi-channel pipettes. Calibration services shall include a warranty that allows for any pipettes found to be out of specification within 1-month of calibration to be reserviced by the contractor at no additional cost.

D. Contractor-Furnished Property The contractor is responsible for furnishing all materials required for their employees to calibrate and maintain the pipettes.
