Management System (SOMS), signing work certificates and completed Preventative Maintenance (PM) check lists, coordinating store support to work, and serves as the primary point of contact for completion of work orders.

2.2 System. The Government’s desired outcome is to retain a complete electronic record of Work

Orders (WOs) submitted, approved, cancelled, rejected, accepted, and invoiced and master inventory of facilities and equipment requiring maintenance services in a single system. Failure to document in the (SOMS) shall be considered non-performance.

2.2.1 DeCA currently uses an on-line service order management system (SOMS) to track and archive its facilities and equipment maintenance. SOMS is a secure, web-based system, which will be used by the

Government and the Contractor for services performed under this contract

2.2.2 The Government reserves the right, at any time during the contract performance period, to change its service order management system. The Contractor shall transition to the new system of comparable functionality. A reasonable period for transition and training will be provided by the Government.

2.2.3 If any WOs are processed by any means other than use of the SOMS or other system provided by the Government, such WOs shall be uploaded, recorded and tracked in SOMS.

2.2.4 The Government will provide training to Contractor personnel upon contract award. Training will enable management and labor personnel (i.e., technicians) to properly complete and submit the required information for work orders to include uploading supporting documents.

UM, EM services are ones that are necessary to stop a potential loss of life, personal safety or health, loss of refrigeration, loss of product, or facilities security. These services are initiated by the

Government.

3.3.1 The Contractor shall establish and maintain emergency response telephone number. This telephone shall be manned 24 hours a day 7 days a week. EM services are initiated as a result of the

The recommended list of additional repairs shall be included in the monthly PM findings list.

3.6 Repair by Replacement (RBR). Repair by replacement is a maintenance strategy where a broken part or component is replaced with a new one to fix an item, rather than repairing the original part. The

Government reserves the right to require replacement in lieu of repairs via issuance of a separate Task

Order.
