It requires a service contract to provide preventive maintenance to maintain the system so that it is functional and operating at its best performance at all times. Periodic service calls are also placed to keep the microscope operational and to limit down time. The sole source justification is based on the fact that the equipment is proprietary to Carl Zeiss Microimaging, LLC and only the manufacturer is authorized to perform maintenance or repair. Replacement parts must also be compatible with existing equipment. The period of performance is 01/01/12 - 12/31/12.
