Required services include one annual on-site preventative maintenance visit per covered system, unlimited telephone technical support from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), XpertCheck services, and on-site corrective maintenance within four business days of an initial service request. The contractor must provide all parts, labor, tools, and travel and maintain active OEM certification throughout the contract period.
Interested parties may submit a statement of capabilities by email to teri.kittson@ihs.gov demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Responses must include the subject line "Notice of Intent Question Submission - BFSU Cepheid Analyzer - SN-75H70926BAO_090."
