Here are some thoughts from Zero Docs about what is next:

Basis of Design and Substitutions Simplified

https://zerodocs.com/basis-of-design-3-part-specification/

"Division 01 of the project specifications covers general requirements, including administrative and procedural matters. Where a Basis of Design products are specified, Division 01 may allow for product substitutions when certain criteria are met. When the proposed substitution is of equal or better quality and performance compared to the specified product, a substitution may be accepted."

Substitution Requests: 5 easy rules to follow

https://zerodocs.com/product-substitution-request-form/

"Before we start, what is a product substitution? Product substitutions are generated by a general contractor as a written request to the design professional to review a product that has not been specified on a project before it can be incorporated into the work. The design professional returns a written approval or rejection of the proposed product."
