However, authorized distributors purchase products at list price, and the unauthorized distributors are reselling the product at a price point below list price, which raises questions about product sourcing.

Vendors who are unable to supply proof of authorized dealer or distributorship will not be considered for award. All offerors shall submit their quote to the issuing office via email at: Jessica.rogers2@va.gov AND grace.kelly-burnsworth@va.gov.
