containing the names of the parties satisfying the conditions of this Section 3 and approved to bid for firm

and Conditions. A Requestor may not bid for service unless its name appears on the Approved Bidder List. The

Approved Bidder List shall further reflect whether Requestor is eligible to enter into an agreement through
