Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2019 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes buyers who already bought and seen result now asking for more than company can supply, and company enlarging in response. Let's parse transcript. Key themes: strong demand, backlog, growth. But specific situation? Need find evidence of existing customers asking for more than company can supply, and company expanding capacity. Transcript mentions: "we initiated a targeted acquisition plan related to a small, but growing technology solutions company" and incurred expenses. That is enlargement via acquisition. But is it in response to proven repeat counterparties asking for more than can supply? Not clear. Also facility consolidation: "costs related to the consolidation of manufacturing facilities" - that is restructuring, not necessarily expansion. They mention "component shortages" but that's external supply, not customer demand exceeding capacity. Need look for any statement about existing customers wanting more than company can supply. There is mention of "U.S. government customer continues to be important... just yesterday, we announced a delivery order for $9.8 million related to our $59 million contract award... This contract still has a $40 million of available ceiling and we expect additional orders in future periods as this contract becomes fully funded." That is existing customer (U.S. Navy) with contract ceiling, expecting additional orders. But does that exceed current supply? No, they expect orders, not that they can't supply. Mention of "BlueForce Tracking program... we demonstrated... we believe our BFT HC Transceivers can fill a vital need... we continue to work with them to deploy several thousand of our MT-25 satellite transceivers pursuant to an initial $11.7 million order... remaining shipments are expected to be substantially complete by end of Q2... We expect U.S. government to continue to test such units and thereafter place additional orders for our MT-2025 transceivers sometime in fiscal 2019. However because the amount and timing of any new MT-2025 transceiver orders are difficult to predict we have not included any revenue or earnings contributions in our updated business outlook." This is existing customer (U.S. Army) with initial order, expecting additional orders.

Existing customers who previously bought fixed-tilt racking (proven repeat counterparties) have switched to the new 1P TerraTrak tracker technology, creating rapid uptake that exceeds current supply capability.
