Market research was conducted by contacting previous contract holders and Garmin International. Results were Garmin International recommending the use of their only authorized government contract vehicle offered through small business vendor Strohman Enterprise Inc. Previous contract holders, The GPS Store and Alvarez, stated they currently do not sell Garmin subscription plans. Garmin no longer offers service plans through NASA SEWP. Other previous contracts indicated sole source or large business acquisitions directly through Garmin. Strohman Enterprise Inc. has been the only vendor who has expressed interest in providing a quote.
