The OEM warranty can potentially be voided if a company outside of Avaya attempts to work on this equipment. The NAICS Code is 541519 and the Small Business Size Standard is $34,000,000. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes; however, any responsible source believing that it can fulfill the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation.
