Background In the process of acquiring 100 cell phones for the department, it is important to utilize the vertical acquisition strategy. This would enable the company to interrogate the quality of the phones, their capacity to meet the needs and demands of the organization, as well as their cost-effectiveness, and the long-term impact of this cost-effective adaptation (U. S. General Services Administration, 2022). Furthermore, the acquisition strategy can enable the company to begin with prototyping of the acquisition by taking in the first 10 gadgets and deploying them before the full delivery is conducted and the program becomes more effective. This is essential in building and promoting long-term adaptation of different interests the organization might need to serve. It is noteworthy that at this stage, the most significant factor is the applicability of cell phones to the organization\'s work (U. S. General Services Administration, 2022). To this extent, the FAR regulations that are central can be found in Part 1.104 on the Applicability of the acquired gadgets to the functions they are expected to fulfill. Secondly, the agency being purchased from must be in full compliance with the FAR. This would ensure that whatever gadgets are acquired are fully adapted to the legal standards expected by the Department of Defense and other stringent measures in the long term (U. S. General Services Administration, 2022). This is fundamental to the continued development of unique alignments in the acquisition process. The FAR impacts acquisition plans by ensuring that validation and qualification of the supplier are guaranteed before any other adapted solutions are promoted. This has the capacity for long-term solutions that are central to the management of the different alignments being considered (U. S. General Services Administration, 2022). The general influence, in this case, can be illustrated as a significant valuation of the influences the FAR has in promoting the security, quality, and value of the acquired gadgets. Statement of Need CTI needs its employees to be able to plug into the system and communicate seamlessly. This is necessitated by the expansive program aimed at providing hardware, software, and technological support and solutions to health care providers (Tech Target Contributor, 2022). The 100 employees targeted with new communication equipment are essential in CTIs work and as such need to be able to communicate more effectively. Purchasing the phones, related equipment, service, and data plans ensures that the organization remains in control of these gadgets and can easily recover them to retrieve data that may be essential for its operations. Applicable conditions The most significant applicable conditions in this acquisition plan are cost, urgency, and compatibility with existing processes or technology (McEwen, Guynes, & Wartell, 2004). While the employees need to have the gadgets within 60 to 90 days, the most significant outcomes will involve the hardware\'s end-of-life terms and conditions, the ability to customize the hardware to meet the standards of the organization, ability to effectively connect the different employees, and the central role this brings to the adapted environment being considered for operations. Moreover, some of the features the phones must have include memory, a faster processor, an effective display, and a long-life battery. The conditions of service should be fairly negotiable, and the price should be flexible, even though the timeline for this assignment is short. Delivery Requirements The most significant influence of timing is that it allows for the planning of different variables (McEwen, Guynes, & Wartell, 2004; Tech Target Contributor, 2022). Firsthand, there is a need for establishing the delivery of ten prototypes within the first 30 days. This will enable a limited number of staff members to test the phones and the software they have and provide feedback to management on suitability. The second step is to advance the contract details in various forms and establish their usability before the consignment can be delivered within 75 days to allow another 15 days of confirming whether the system is operational.
