Certificate of Maintainability:

At such time as the services of the Contractor are terminated, expire contractually or are otherwise not extended, or upon request by the Contracting Officer at any time, the Contractor shall issue, within five (5) working days, a "Certificate of Maintainability" for any or all equipment acquired and/or maintained under this contract. The certificate shall state that preventive maintenance in accordance with the specifications of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has been performed and that the equipment is performing in accordance with the OEM's specifications such that the OEM (or the OEM's successor in interest) would commit that it would assume maintenance of the equipment without billing any one‐time charges (including but not limited to repair or inspection charges) if such maintenance were assumed effective the day after the Contractor's performance ceases. The Contractor is responsible for bearing all costs associated with obtaining such certification at no separate charge to the Government. Should the Contractor fail to issue the required Certificate of Maintainability in accordance with this clause, or should any equipment fail to perform in accordance with the certification, the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any reasonable costs incurred by the Government for the purpose of bringing the equipment up to the required OEM maintenance level.

All charges required to, obtain the requisite performance of the equipment, up to the later of the time the equipment is accepted by the Government or the warranty expires shall be borne by the Contractor.
