2026_Linko Sole Source Letter.pdf

This is a sole source statement document from Aquatic Informatics Inc. (AQI) regarding the Linko Software suite, submitted in support of a Pennsylvania state and local contract opportunity for Linko Support & Maintenance. The document establishes that AQI is the sole developer and producer of the Linko software products used for data management of managed industrial, pretreatment, and FOG (fats, oils, and grease) compliance programs. AQI, as a 100% owned subsidiary of Veralto Corporation (a publicly traded NYSE company), is the only organization authorized to provide Linko Software, implementation services, training, and support. No outside sales agents or representatives are authorized to sell Linko Software or services except for direct employees of AQI or other Veralto subsidiaries.

The small order purchase will be awarded as a whole or by line item, whichever is in the best interest of the City, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. All sellers must quote all items to be eligible for award, and services are not to be delivered or provided until official notification is received from the department. The sole source justification demonstrates that AQI holds exclusive rights to the proprietary software and related services, which supports the procurement approach for the City of Pennsylvania.
