The back office exemption is a location-based exclusion that only the
purchasing Federal agency could claim. It was never intended to address a
class of equipment. The premise was that if a server or a router was to
be located in a space that had physical limitations (eg., a wiring
closet), then the agency could claim this exemption only for the hardware
and software that must be run only from that location. If it was on a
network and the software was to be run remotely, then there wasn't a valid
claim for using the exemption for the software component.

Hi Gina,
Does this mean that you want to do away with the "back room" exclusion?
