Service calls are available Monday–Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with after-hours service at the contractor's specified rate. Contractors must comply with hospital safety protocols, confidentiality requirements, tool inventory and accountability procedures, and infection control protocols while working on patient wards.

The contract term is six months from approximately February 16, 2026, with one optional six-month renewal period. Pricing is submitted as separate hourly rates for regular-hour and after-hour service calls, with a one-hour minimum billing per category.
