According to the RAE, "monográfico" is an adjective that comes from the noun "monografía", a treaty.
I guess what they mean here is that they only provide that type of support, not any other.

There aren't any refs. to speak of to this in Spanish, so I can't say for sure, but I have run across other uses of "monográfico" that are similar, referring to "single". I think "service" rather than "item" here, given the context.
Note from asker:
| Thank you, Cindy. I know a monograph is a treatise on a single subject, but it is the first time I have seen it used in this context |

I'm pretty sure it means any kind of specialist.

I think you're find that it DOES have this meaning that Cindy and I have given to it. I admit that it's not common, but it does exist. I've encountered it before.
