Additional Notes
This is a brand name justification for a single source award. Market research indicated that while some items were available through GSA Advantage! and the National Acquisition Center, not all items were available on FSS, leading to an open market, unrestricted competition. Offerors must comply with all security prohibitions and exclusions, including those related to covered telecommunications equipment and services, and FASCSA orders.
