Thanks guys.
They're suppose to have a Smartnet contract. I'll see what the hangup is.

I don’t believe that has been possible for some time. When I log into my
account, I only have access to software for devices I have under contract.
I think some partners and maybe CCIE’s may have access to everything. It
used to be a good Cisco reseller would load a router with the release of your
choice before shipping, rather than whatever it left the factory with.

Yeah, lots of folks bought something small and cheap to be official and then
they had access to the whole treasure chest. Is that still possible?

The company you are consulting for should have a SMARTnet contract with Cisco.
If they don't then place a call to Cisco and they will sell you a contract
via a reseller.
If the firmware has a security issue then Cisco will usually allow you to
download a patched IOS file version.
In my former life I had a very small and cheap Cisco device on SMARTnet. As
long as I had a log in I could download all the firmware I wanted for any Cisco
device.

Is it like UBNT/MT firmware where you can just upgrade or does it require a
purchase?
