A NABEC operator must provide services to eligible clients within the specified geographical service area. In some cases, the geographical distance may be cost- prohibitive for the NABEC to conduct in-person meetings with clients. MBDA anticipates the NABEC would provide, to the best of its abilities, services to those firms beyond a reasonable distance through virtual communications, including but not limited to telephone, email and facsimile. Service to eligible clients outside of an operator's specified service area may be requested, on a case-by-case basis, through the appropriate MBDA Regional Director and approved by the Grants Officer.
