Performance Work Statement Edstrom Watchdog System

1.0 Purpose

The object of the contract is to provide preventative maintenance and service support for the Watchdog System that is in place in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Edgewood Area buildings E3150.

1.1 Background:

The Edstrom Watchdog system provides monitoring of the animal rooms for temperature and humidity and water to animals housed in the vivarium of the ECBC Toxicology Directorate. The U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological (ECBC) Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, is a subordinate command of the U.S. Army Research and Engineering Development Command (RDECOM). This system requires routine preventative maintenance in order to achieve maximum performance, meet life expectancy, provide continual monitoring of the temperature and humidity of the animal rooms, and to provide water continuously to animals. The Watchdog System is critical to the operation and success of the animal care mission and, therefore, the contractor shall be responsive to the government’s needs.
