RE: MorseCom Maintenance-2025
Our telephone system has 2 sets of Annual Maintenance. The first, hardware
maintenance, protects the physical Mitel equipment that comprises the telephone
system. This maintenance ($22,661.25) is pre-negotiated under Sourcewell contract
#022719-MBS.
The second, software maintenance, protects the Morse software and configuration that
controls the telephone system equipment. This maintenance ($29,412) needs approval to
be purchased following the sole source provision of our purchasing policy.
Page 24, Chapter 7 Exclusions 2.b:
Where the procurement itself, due to the nature of the goods or services (i.e. in order to
obtain conformity to existing contracted goods or services, in order to avoid the loss of
warranty coverage, proprietary licensing, equipment capability, etc.), dictates sole source
acquisition, the Requesting Department shall provide written justification as to the sole
source nature of the procurement.
Justification:
Morse Communications, Inc. is the owner and entity that created of the software
configuration that controls our Mitel equipment.
I.T. would like to request approval for this purchase. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
