Rowan County Information Systems Department wishes to enter into a sole-source agreement with Auvik Networks, Inc. for network monitoring. The FY23 amount is $26,100.
Rowan County Purchasing Policy requires sole-source purchases over $5,000 be approved by the Board of Commissioners. This agreement would be approved as a 'sole-source' using standardization or compatibility as the overriding consideration per NCGS 143-129(e)(6) which allows for an exception to the bidding laws when:
1. Performance or price competition for a product are not available;
2. A needed product is available from only one source of supply; or
3. Standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration
Attached is the quote with Auvik Networks, Inc.
