ITEM BACKGROUND: Smarsh is a cellular text message archiving solution that captures cellular text messages directly from the provider. The solution helps mitigate the risk of potential non-compliance lawsuits by assuring compliance with document retention laws. The County has been utilizing Smarsh for three years. Currently Smarsh is a sole source supplier as it is the only archive to work with both Verizon and AT&T networks. The County has been utilizing the Smarsh software since 2020. Since Smarsh is a sole source supplier we seek a waiver of the competitive solicitation process in accordance with the Monroe County Code and Purchasing Policy. This software technology was procured and purchased in 2020 in accordance with existing procurement requirements. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: 7/19/2023 approval of Smarsh contract for $26,473.86.

There is only one company that provides this product and they have exclusivity contracts with AT&T and Verizon—Smarsh. Smarsh is a soul source supplier of this type of solution. No other companies have the ability to capture texts directly from the cellular provider. This will provide the County with an archive that cannot be altered by the individual phone user and allows compliance with records retention and records request law. If you have any questions, or need further information, please feel free to contact me at 292-3470.
