The updated Social Equity within the Supply Chain appears to be more achievable.
The original required permanently installed products from 10 different manufacturers meeting options 1 or option 2 of the pilot.
The updated requires 3 permanently installed products from at least 2 companies.
What was most usefull in this pilot included the referenced standards, or team was able to specify and evaluate materials based on pre qualified product standards. This made it a much more time effective task, and approach to achieving social equity within the supply chain.

Yes, this is right.
While manufacturers may perceive the requirements as narrow, it is crucial to view this as a significant credit that warrants attention from a fresh perspective in terms of social equity standards.
Some manufacturers in Europe achieve the requirements and can supply to Asia and Africa.
USA region also have some manufacturers that demostrates compliance.
