Madison, WI 53705

Purchase Request: 607-18-2-969-0067

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used:

The Stryker booms are required because the William S.

Also, Stryker will be able to use existing mounts, video and integration cabling, which results in cost savings for the Government.
