78. Public and Private Procurement Pathways
Stable section ID: S05-CON-016-SECTION-80 · 17 content blocks
System05 shall develop procurement pathways that allow public and private buyers to specify desired outcomes without creating unnecessary dependence on one Product or Supplier.
Procurement documents should define:
applicable System05 Standards and Profiles;
Building use and performance requirements;
required Conformance and certification;
Interface and data portability requirements;
manufacturing and installation qualifications;
BIOS and Digital Twin deliverables;
maintenance and lifecycle support;
permitted equivalent solutions;
Evidence and acceptance procedures;
ownership of physical and digital records.
Reference Products may be named for clarity, but equivalent conforming implementations should be permitted where legally and technically appropriate.
Lowest initial price shall not be evaluated without consideration of installation, verification, energy, maintenance, replacement, adaptability, and end-of-life value.
Public procurement shall avoid using vulnerable populations as involuntary experimental participants.
Contracts shall define responsibility for software continuity, cybersecurity, data access, spare Components, recalls, and manufacturer withdrawal.
Procurement claims shall use measurable criteria and shall not rely on undefined terms such as smart, universal, sustainable, or AI-ready.
