The contractor will be required to perform an upgrade, when required, to the KVDT logic board by installing a Weather EPROM. The FAA will furnish modification material and instructions for performing the modification. The instructions will also provide information on how to determine if the modification is needed for a particular unit. The contractor will verify operation by testing in accordance with procedures outlined in the "3180 Model 1 Display Station User's Guide", form number GA21-9468-2, Chapter 1- Section 3, "Entering the Display Station Model ID and the Keyboard ID". The FAA does not have specifications or repair procedures. The contractor must be an authorized IBM repair source and have access to the following IBM specifications and repair procedures: (a) IBM 3180 Display Station Repair Center Maintenance Information, September 1984, #SY31-0662-1 (b) IBM 3180 Display Station national Language Support Repair Center Maintenance Information Supplement.

Potential sources must provide a copy of their certification (documentation) as an authorized IBM repair source for the referenced equipment. (Sources shall also provide documentation describing available resources necessary to repair IBM components designed specifically for FAA use as identified in this survey.) "Resources" are defined as expertise in the repair of above stated items, availability of parts used in repair, and documentation used to effect repair. Certificate and resources documentation must be provided with responses. If a vendor is not already certified and wants to become certified interested offerors must take an A+ Certification test before IBM will provide certification as a authorized repair source. This is a standard test and not specific to IBM but a standard test for all industry, e.g., Hewlett-Packard. Once the A+ certification test is successfully completed certification must be processed through an IBM distributor. IBM will certify them as a repair source through a distributor of IBM. IBM will not deal directly with vendors. Questions regarding the certification process may be directed to IBM Management Services at telephone 800-426-3391, option 4.
