VPP Assets no longer available in App Store

If an App is removed from the app store, such as this app:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/office-hand-meetings/id835895780

I assume that the expected behavior is that InstallApplication commands would not work since the app is no longer available. Even though the asset data is still returned in the getAssets call. It also appears that authenticated lookups still allow us to pull the asset metadata for a removed app.

Is there a way of knowing that an app is no longer available in the app store, so that we prevent additional InstallApplication commands from being initiated and so that we can make the item visible but "inactive" to the customer on our side?

It appears that the "offers" being empty is a good indication that the app is no longer available in the app store.
