1. As depicted in the listing above, there are multiple sources used for this requirement. The brand names of each item are vital for the required continuity of all equipment purchased in the last four (4) years. There can be no variance in form, fit or function. All items must be supported by the Original Equipment Manufacturers to maintain warranties and support services. To date, there has been only one provider that could supply all required name brand equipment under one contract which ensures cost effectiveness. The approved Vendor shall provide Buyer with a copy of the End User license agreement and shall warrant that all Manufacturer software is licensed originally to Buyer as the original licensee authorized to use the Manufacturer Software.

The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

Extron Electronics, Christie Digital displays, Shure, QSC, and Biamp match the government issued source specifications already in place. These brand names listed above comprise our network system. Any deviation from the aforementioned brand names will cause disturbance in USFFC system and will hinder the impact of their mission.
