- Single Suppliers Intellectual Property Exclusive Rights; Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
- Published justification
OPAL-RT Technologies is the only supplier with the technical ability. As the original provider, they are uniquely positioned to offer compatible hardware, software, and expert services. A single-source procurement is therefore justified on technical exclusivity and continuity grounds. We have already existing hardware from the supplier, this makes the integration process simpler.
