This purchase order is necessary to maintain and repair four (4) existing FEI scanning electron microscopes to keep them running in accordance with the original equipment manufacturers specifications and shall include a base plus two option years for preventative service maintenance and emergency repairs.

FEI offers 4-hour response time for contract customers and on-site repair visits within 48 hours as required for our labs. FEI currently stocks the parts necessary for performing the maintenance and emergency repairs and has been servicing the scanning electron microscopes successfully over the past five years. FEI is uniquely qualified to meet the needs of the CNST and their current users by offering factory trained service engineers, a guaranteed 48-hour response time for emergency repairs and has immediate access to the proprietary parts and password codes for FEI controlled components.
