Trade-in credit shall be reflected as a reduction to the total evaluated price. No separate payment or reimbursement shall be made to the Government. Winning contractor will remove trade-in equipment from installation at no additional cost to the Government. Removal of tradein equipment shall include disconnection, removal from the facility, and haul-away, and shall be performed without additional cost to the Government.

Equipment shall be fully functional, structurally sound, safe for commercial use, and refurbished using OEM or OEM-equivalent replacement parts as necessary. Minor cosmetic wear consistent with prior commercial use is acceptable; however, equipment must be free of excessive corrosion, cracks, or structural damage and suitable for installation in a Government fitness facility. CPO equipment shall be delivered with a minimum one (1) year parts warranty covering normal commercial use, beginning upon Government acceptance. Certification does not require participation in a proprietary manufacturer program, provided all stated requirements are met.
