The Government will only accept commercial-off-the-shelf items.

In instances when a brand name or equal product is specified, NARA requires that the Vendor provide a quotation for the replacement model/newest version of the product that is available in the commercial marketplace. Vendors will still be required to indicate the model number(s) in their quote and MUST submit itemized technical specifications that address the enumerated requirements of the “Salient Characteristics”-for each proposed item, to facilitate a comprehensive Government evaluation.” Vendors must submit itemized specifications that address the enumerated requirement of the Salient Characteristics (attachment 1) for each proposed item to facilitate a comprehensive Government evaluation.
