Demonstration of Contractor?s Unique Qualifications: (FAR 6.303-2(a)(5)) We have specified the Adtran and Polycom specific brands because the current equipment that we have in use can only be upgraded with items from these manufacturers. If it were required to purchase new equipment instead of upgrading the current systems in place there would be significant risk of non-interoperability with our current infrastructure. Additionally, the total cost to acquire new systems would be substantially higher that the cost to upgrading the current equipment. 6.
