Re: Inquiry Regarding Professional Support Listing for Ukraine - InDevLab LLC

This seems to amount to a policy of proving a negative - that no other
competitive vendors exist thus permitting an alternative acquisition
process. Seems like whomever is asking for this evidence should be the one
saying that another vendor exists and therfore both you and them need to
abide by the normal process.

The absebce of any other companies on the website is not itself evidence of
non-existence.

If you want something a bit more conclusive I’d ask on the -general mailing
list whether anyone knows of any such companies besides those listed at the
aforementioned web page. Those emails are archived, publicly accessible,
and timestamped. It provides a better attempt at proving the negative than
your original request.
