PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AS IT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY NOTICE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to negotiate a sole source, fixed price contract with Stryker Emergency Care, 3800 E. Centre Ave, Portage, MI. 49009 for the purpose of a preventative maintenance service contract.  

The FBI's Laboratory Division, Technical Hazardous Response Unit (THRU), requires a maintenance service contract to maintain 20, LifePak-15 cardiac monitors/defibrillators through the manufacturer to maintain the current warranty.  This maintenance will include the following:

• A Stryker Po-care certified technician will inspect the units according to NFPA guidelines, for damage and complete an electronic analysis of each device to determine that the latest software is loaded and in use.  If it is determined that it is not, the software update must be completed.   
• All patient monitoring parameters on the LP-15 will be tested and adjusted as necessary.
• All LP-15 batteries that are past life cycle or are otherwise not in service will be replaced with new batteries to include the battery pins.
• This maintenance must be completed at the FBI facility located in Fredericksburg, Virginia.  Location will be given to the awarding contractor.
• Must cover damages or malfunctions from accidents and normal wear and tear during the coverage period. 
• Must include all parts and labor necessary to restore equipment to manufacturer specifications. 
• Must include all parts and labor necessary to restore equipment to manufacturer specifications. 
• Must provide a loaner device if equipment needs to be removed from service for additional repairs. 
• Must include a two-hour response time with the service request completed within twenty-four hours.    
• Certified technician will need to undergo a comprehensive background check.  The technician will be required to submit personal information and fingerprints.

Based on market research, and Government end-users, Stryker Emergency Care is uniquely qualified to provide these services to The FBI Technical Hazards Response Unit based upon the following:

• As the manufacturer of these devices, Stryker Emergency Care has proprietary control of the device software that powers these cardiac monitors.  Only Stryker Emergency Care can provide regular software updates and software maintenance as needed and not just when it’s mandated.    
• Stryker Emergency Care, as Physio Control, has serviced the unit’s cardiac monitors since purchase.  This unbroken length of service provides the unit with an incomparable warranty that covers any damage or malfunction, at any time, during the coverage period.  If the contract was awarded to another vendor, the unit would be required to submit each of the cardiac monitors to an inspection, at an additional charge before they could re-engage a comprehensive maintenance contract with Stryker Emergency Care. 
• Though other companies can provide inspection of these devices, only Stryker Emergency Care can perform the repairs onsite, which minimizes the time that these devices would be out of service.
• Stryker Emergency Care coverage plan covers these units for annual inspections, and any repairs for malfunction and damage.  The damage coverage includes all damage from accidents, improper operation and normal wear and tear.  The only damage not covered by Stryker Emergency Care is obvious deliberate damage.
