Do not take any action under this contract except on the basis of a purchase order from the agency. NOTE TO AGENCIES: Orders under this contract are to be submitted directly to the contractors. NOTE TO CONTRACTOR: In the event a specified manufacturer's product listed in the Contract Award Notification becomes unavailable or cannot be supplied to the State by the contractor for any reason (except as provided for in the Savings/Force Majeure clause in Appendix B, OGS General Specifications) a product deemed by the Office of General Services to be equal to or better than the specified product must be substituted by the contractor at no additional cost or expense to the State.
