there are domestic and international standards (while the standards don't say "you must buy linen from Bob's Lux Linens and Things" it is extremely specific where Bob is probably the only vendor who can provide the exact specs and even if Larry's Lux Linens and Things can provide it MI will have contracted pricing with Bob making it silly to purchase elsewhere)
