Unlimited Telephone Support: The contractor shall provide unlimited telephone support for repair maintenance of the equipment during NIH working hours M-F, (8:00am - 5:00pm), excluding federal holidays.

All parts supplied during the warranty period or maintenance service agreement period are warranted against defects in material and workmanship until the expiration date of the term and all service shall be performed in a professional manner.
