Dual-source pursue-order
Dual-source means two buyer-approved channels that can bid the same electrical package.
How it works
- Same MVA, voltages, cooling, %Z band, and standards so quotes are comparable.
- Buyer AVL or invite list governs who sees the full package.
- Flexible / interchangeable LPT design is a study topic (OSTI 1527031) when the one-line requires it.
- Buy America / BABA interest is a constraint flag on the quotation.
If dual-source is no, we still take the quotation. Related: lead times, bushings and spares, and financing.
