The manufacturer is the only qualified entity to provide service and support of an existing EPA HR-ICPMS. The maintenance plan covers software updates, factory-certified replacement parts, unlimited on-site service visits, one annual preventative maintenance visit, and all associated travel and labor costs for the service-engineer. The Element2 high resolution magnetic sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (HR-ICPMS) Unity Essential Plan was previously maintained under purchase order EP-13-D-00038. In order to successfully maintain the Thermo Element2, it is highly preferable to use Thermo Electron North America LLC. for the continuation of maintenance of the Element2. NO SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) IS AVAILABLE. Notwithstanding, any firm that believes it is capable of meeting EPA's requirement as stated herein may submit a capability statement, which if received within three (3) business days of the date of this announcement at 3:00pm EST. will be considered.
