I don't know anything about your factory. But if you mean, can they do it from the perspective of IP/proprietary data etc., then that's the bottleneck to solve. The DPA could easily cut through that bottleneck if existing factories could quickly be retooled to manufacture existing, proven & approved designs. The alternative is to retool to produce novel, unproven, unapproved designs. If you have a factory, great! You'll need to retool it though. Which design would you rather target? A simple, proven, approved design tailor made for this sort of situation? Or the simple, tailor made, but unproven new ones that are being thrown together in a few weeks?

Perhaps both paths will prove necessary and valued?
