The vendor shall perform all service and preventive maintenance work on the Dako Coverstainer machine. All equipment shall be maintained in proper operating condition as specified by the manufacturer. Vendor must have proven access to original equipment, manufacturers (OEM) parts manuals and schematics to perform the service.

All equipment service-related activities need to be performed by technicians certified by Dako for service to the Dako Coverstainer. Technicians must have successfully completed all Coverstainer required training and the training courses must be led by a certified Dako trainer. Since the intent is to procure these services on a sole source basis, no solicitation will be posted to FedBizOps (FBO).
