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
This is for software maintenance and licenses for Rowan County employees from ESRI. Attached is a copy of the quote for $24,700.
Board of Commissioners to authorize County Manager to approve a sole-source agreement for software maintenance and licenses for ESRI not to exceed $24,700.
