Installation must be completed within 90 days of award and must comply with the National Electrical Code and all hazardous chemical safety policies, including the provision of appropriate spill containers and personal protective equipment. The government will perform inspections to ensure compliance with ALM and TSRA hygienically clean linen standards, and the contract may be voided for repeated instances of poor quality or service. Interested parties must provide organizational details, SAM registration status, and manufacturer authorization where applicable by the response deadline.
