Taxpayer Impact: The taxpayer impact is likely moderate, given the specialized nature of the services and the competitive process, though the exclusion of sources warrants attention.
Public Impact

How did the exclusion of sources impact the final contract price and competitive landscape?
The exclusion of specific sources, while allowing for 'Full and Open Competition' among the remaining eligible entities, could have limited the breadth of competition.
