Since updates are needed, they should also be the only vendor authorized to provide OEM updates. Thus, iPharmaSupports is the proposed sole source vendor because the manufacturer TRASIS of the existing TRASIS Radiopharmaceutical equipment has given iPharmaSupports sole authorization and factory training to perform these services.
