Answer: No, we are willing to consider like models that have the same or capable abilities and features. Question: What do you mean "4 in 1 stand"? Answer: Basically that it can change height or possibly be mounted etc. The stand can do more than just be a simple pole for the device to sit on. Question: When would the contract be awarded.
