This requirement for services to perform Preventive Maintenance is outlined in the attached Statement of Work (SOW). The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 2 is conducting a market survey to identify responsible sources and determine the acquisition strategy for this potential procurement.
