This is a Scope of Work Verification Justification memorandum from the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) regarding Requisition R002492 for the renewal of VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware Live Recovery subscriptions in California. The document, dated July 1, 2026, addresses a procedural matter concerning the completion of the Scope of Work Verification form. The purchase involves annual support and renewal subscriptions for VMware products that are already deployed within OCTA's environment and must be this specific brand to maintain compatibility and continuity of service.

The memorandum indicates that no selection was made on the standard Scope of Work Verification form because the renewal purchase does not fit within the two predefined options available on that form. Senior Section Manager Long Leu submitted this justification to clarify that this is a brand-specific renewal of existing software licenses and support services, which represents a necessary continuation of current infrastructure rather than a new procurement or competitive selection scenario. This justification addresses the administrative requirement to explain the deviation from standard verification procedures for this sole-source or brand-specific renewal acquisition.
