Monthly Reporting: In lieu of a status dashboard, the vendor is required to submit a Monthly Report and participate in management review meetings to track order progress. This report must detail shipping dates for each order, orders completed during the period, status of ongoing orders, and any anticipated production or shipping delays.

8. Order Modifications
