- The notice publication date is later than the stated contract period; the source does not explain this chronology.
- Lot allocation is not published despite three lots being named in the title.
- Information on procurement method, bids, evaluation, award rationale, signature, extensions, renewal terms and pricing is not supplied in the published notice.
