1. Demonstrated ability to provide ALL specified items in the USSS BOM and ALL order quantities up to and including the maximum contract amount without deviation, unless the cause of the deviation in quantity or specification rests with the inability of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (Remington) to produce or provide such specified items. In case of such verified OEM inability to provide specified items and/or quantities, the agency has exclusive right to examine and approve all alternate item(s) options prior to vendor submission in fulfillment of any contract provisions;
