Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals authorizes only THERAKOS trained and certified biomedical engineers to service or in any way alter or modify the CELLEX Photopheresis System As a result, any contractor other than THERAKOS that would be allowed to work on, maintain, and/or tamper with the current system in any capacity would void the warranty of the THERAKOS CELLEX Photopheresis System.

This notice of intent is not a request for proposals or quotes. However, all responsible sources may submit a technical capabilities/narrative that proves by clear and convincing evidence that the current warranty provided by THERAKOS, for the THERAKOS CELLEX Photopheresis System, will not be voided by having a contractor other than THERAKOS conduct the above referenced maintenance. If said technical capabilities/narrative is received within fifteen calendar days of publication of this notice, the narrative will be considered by NCO 9. All responses must be submitted to the Government point of contact at the email address shown below.
