III. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs.

Under this Statement of Work, the Contractor must furnish and execute four primary phases of support to meet the agency's operational needs.

(ii) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements.

The system for our current weapon storage system is from Vital Vault. If we were to acquire a different weapon tracking system, then it would cause the following duplication of costs;
