Self Service App for macOS Catalina fails with error "Item Failed"

We have an installer setup in Self Service for macOS Catalina. We typically defer major o/s upgrades for the first 30 days before making it available in Self Service. For the past two major O/S releases before Big Sur, we procured free licenses via Apple VPP and pushed it out to Self Service. This installation method has been fine until Catalina. When attempting to install it now from the Self Service button, the install progress goes from "Installing" to "Error". The notifications area just indicates that the "Item Failed".

Anyone seen this and/or know how to fix?
