equipment, supplies, materials, goods or services. That is, [your compnay]
will always have at least two vendors that can provide each of our critical
goods and services required to support our business.

Request a copy of the section that addresses their ability to recover
the processes that delivers the equipment, supplies, materials, goods
or services you use.
ii. If the vendor declines to provide you with a copy, request additional
information.

compnay] will contact the appropriate backup vendor.
