Performance Work Statment Cepheid Analyzer Maintenance.pdf

This document is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for the maintenance and service of two Cepheid GeneXpert analyzers used for virus detection. The PWS is for a sole source contract with a base year plus three option years. The Cepheid GeneXpert IV and GeneXpert XVI analyzers are used for COVID-19 testing of individuals traveling on missions abroad. Without a maintenance contract, instrument failure could delay test results by up to three days if samples had to be sent to other facilities. The key objectives are to provide preventive maintenance, repair services, and technical support to ensure the continued operation of the Cepheid analyzers. The contract will be awarded by the Department of the Air Force Headquarters District Washington.
