• Extended Installation & Turnkey Services: Vendors must provide a non-segregable Work Statement for installation services, including site preparation, connecting utilities, and ensuring the system is fully operational. Turnkey installation requires developing plans, site preparation, rigging, installation, and documentation to achieve fully operational systems. Site preparation work not explicitly identified but required for operation is the contractor's responsibility.

• Unsupported Operating Systems: Procurement of systems with unsupported operating systems is prohibited. Vendors must provide a support plan if their proposed system includes an unsupported OS.
