Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
(Operator Instructions). Your first question comes from the line of Ryan Daniels of William Blair.
Ryan Daniels - William Blair
William Blair:} Yeah guys. Good afternoon. Mark, a quick follow-up on the Cliniserve deal. I understand that, that didn't close until the second quarter. But, it sounds like that is part of the 17 million annual acquired revenue, and therefore in your guidance, is that fair?
Mark Miller
That is correct.
Ryan Daniels - William Blair
Okay, perfect. And then, maybe a couple of bigger picture ones. I know recently, you have discussed adding a bit more resources on the M&A front. You've had a few active quarters. And I am curious, if you could provide a little more color there, is it more opportunities, new market potential, new offerings that you're targeting, any color there around the M&A outlook would be great?
Frank Brink
No, the pipeline remains very robust. We have definitely over 50 million into pipeline, despite having done those deals. And good domestic, and that's again a number for the North American market. But internationally it's active. So overall, we are very energized, and the team is doing a great job.
Ryan Daniels - William Blair
Okay, great. And maybe now that we're sitting four months into the year, I am just curious if you guys could comment on reluctance that you're seeing with the customer base about switching to Steri-Safe or converting up service levels, anything like that with the macro issues. Certainly, it doesn't look to be the case in the numbers. But, any color there?
Richard Kogler
I think I can address that. I think the sales team is performing well. And as you said, it shows in the numbers. The offerings, I think, are very still very attractive, in terms of giving value to the customers. And that's why we still have a very high customer convergence to the premium and select levels, as well as many of the new customers are going right into those levels as I indicated in my prepared remarks.
Ryan Daniels - William Blair
Sure. And then, a few things for our model, can you actually give us the Steri-Safe clients and the percent on premium. And then, just the LQG business, the adds for Bio Systems and waste management?
Mark Miller
Right now the total number of Steri-Safe customers is over a 135,000. And the percent on the premium levels is 30.4%. The LQ adds for the quarter were 56 or 58, pardon me, LQG contracts and 74 Bio Systems contracts.
