The company that put the plow truck together, manufactured the plow truck, is a registered northern manufacturer, but they're registered to provide steel tanks, bridges, steel plate girders and so on. In order for them to become a northern manufacturer of plow trucks, then they'd have to go through the process of going through ITI and getting registered as a northern manufacturer. I don't think there's anything preventing that from happening, however. If they're recognized as a northern manufacturer and the added value is there and they're approved, then in the future when DOT buys plow trucks we would just go directly to our approved northern manufacturer of products. Thank you.
