sole source basis with...? This was puzzling me, I found the quotes below
on some 'merchant pages' towards some American governmental organizations.
It is about 'modified devices', lets hope the American government does not
ask for 'modified vehicles'. Just
quote;

modification. Could be, I do not know. But can you make French fries from
