1. Acceptance Procedures:

Prior to acceptance of the goods or services provided under this contract, inspection and testing will be performed by the Government in accordance with this clause. For purposes of determining the payment due date under this contract, and for no other purpose, the date of acceptance of the goods or services provided under this contract shall be the actual date of acceptance by the Government or the number of days after request for inspection indicated herein, whichever is earlier, provided delay in acceptance is not the fault of the contractor.

a. The contractor shall furnish, upon completion of installation, a written notice request for inspection to the CO and COR via email. Final acceptance of the equipment and installation shall be based upon an inspection and test to be performed within thirty (30) calendar days from date of receipt of request for inspection. If equipment passes inspection, the Government will accept installation with a warranty date commencing the date of the final acceptance inspection. Use of the equipment during the period between completion of installation and inspection and/or inspection and re-inspection shall not negate the right on the part of the Government to reject the equipment, should it fail, nor to preclude default action against the contractor in the event of failure to correct deficiencies.

b. In the event the equipment is rejected, the contractor will be advised as to the deficiencies which were cause for rejection. It shall be the contractor's responsibility to correct reported deficiencies and to advise the CO via email when all corrections have been made and equipment is ready for re-inspection. Re-inspection(s) shall be performed by the Government with all cost(s) incurred chargeable to the contractor's account.

c. If deficiencies found at the time of inspection are corrected within fourteen (14) calendar days from date of notice of rejection, date of acceptance will be the date notice of readiness for the original inspection is received by the CO. If corrections are not accomplished within the specified time, the warranty commencement date shall then be the date notice of readiness for re-inspection as received by the CO preceding final acceptance.

2. Warranty Service:

a. The one-year warranty after acceptance inspection shall include all parts, labor, and workmanship necessary for operation of the equipment at a level meeting contract terms and conditions.

b. Service during the warranty period shall be provided within 24 hours of notice from the CO and/or COR. A routine service request will be issued upon any failure which degrades system performance but does not prevent continued laundry operations. Telephone response does not satisfy this requirement.

c. Emergency service by a qualified technician shall be provided within 24 hours of notification. Telephone response does not satisfy this requirement. An emergency service request will be issued upon any failure which prevents systems operation and disrupts continued laundry operations.

d. Service required on equipment prior to the start of the warranty period shall be performed at no charge to the Government during this period. The one-year warranty after acceptance inspection shall include all parts, labor, and workmanship necessary for operation of the equipment at a level meeting contract terms and conditions.
