- Description
- The Contractor shall provide all labor, material and equipment necessary to maintain and provide preventive maintenance for a Leica confocal/multiphoton microscope system composed of one SP8 Liachroic IR (SN-8110002579) (NIH decal # 02176690). This Leica confocal/multiphoton microscope system will be used by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research�s (CCR) Intravital Microscope Core (IVM) for research that focuses on visualizing cellular processes in live animals under both physiological and pathological conditions. The core supports the need for CCR investigators to perform intravital microscopy which enables it to 1) investigate the cellular mechanisms underlying tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis in live animals, 2) perform multimodal analysis of tumors, surrounding microenvironment (e.g. vasculature, extracellular matrix), dynamics and the role of the immune system and 3) testing the efficacy of drugs at the tissue, cellular and subcellular level. The IVM Core supports the need of a large group of users from several labs across CCR and NCI and its operations depends on the continuous and reliable use of the Leica confocal/multiphoton microscope system. It is fundamental to maintain a service contract to minimize disruption of the services provided by the core. All maintenance services shall be performed on-site in accordance with the manufacturer�s standard commercial maintenance practices. TYPE OF ORDER This will be issued as a severable firm fixed-price purchase order. SPECIAL ORDER REQUIREMENTS PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE The Contractor shall complete one planned preventive maintenance session during each period of performance during the term of the contract. Technically qualified factory-trained personnel shall perform this service. It shall consist of a thorough cleaning, calibration, adjusting, inspection and testing of all equipment in accordance with the manufacturer�s latest established service procedures. All equipment shall be operationally tested through at least one (1) complete operating cycle at the end of the preventive maintenance inspection to assure optimum and efficient performance.
