- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Steris Corp of Erie, PA.as per the following Statement of Work: Background Autoclaves used in the Biosafety Level 4 laboratory are the PRIMARY means of decontaminating waste for disposal. It is critically important to the operations within the laboratory to have continuous, reliably functioning autoclaves. Sterilizers are located in high and maximum containment laboratories. These sterilizers were designed and specially built into the laboratories by Steris for use as the primary means of disinfection for these laboratories. All parts for these units must be manufacturer compatible. Programming for the circuitry and logic of these units is proprietary. It has been our experience that the engineering support required for proper operation of these units over time can only be provided by the manufacturer. Project Objectives: Autoclaves used in the Biosafety Level 4 laboratory are the PRIMARY means of decontaminating waste for disposal. It is critically important to the operations within the laboratory to have continuous, reliably functioning autoclaves. The objective of this work is to provide reliably functioning autoclaves available on a 24/7 basis. Scope Preventative Maintenance will be performed on a quarterly basis. Functionality of all component parts will be assessed during these visits. Adjustments of features found to be operating outside normal parameters will made.
