This contract shall include two performance areas to encompass all aspects of procuring new Digital Talking Book Machines and maintaining the new and existing stock at the Library.

Performance Area 1 (PA1): DTBM DA2 Production, Parts, and Support This PA includes DA2 units, warranties, spare parts, software development, and other requirements described in Section C.

NLS requires support for those units including spare parts, software development, and warranty repairs.

Performance Area 2 (PA2): Existing Device Support, Incumbent This PA includes proprietary spare parts and software development as described in Section C. NLS also requires repair and support services for the existing incumbent-manufactured NLS DTBM DA2 units (approximately 63,000).
