Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

Johnson Controls systems are proprietary. This system uses a Life Safety software program specifically designed by Simplex for its addressable systems. This means there is no educational material available that would allow a non-Simplex technician to qualify to edit it, making it proprietary intellectual property. The Simplex systems use solid-state technology. All system parts and components needed for the system are exclusively available through Simplex. All service, maintenance, repairs, testing, and inspections are required to be performed by Johnson Controls Fire Protection. These services are mandated by the State Fire Marshal and the Agency for Health Care Administration.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
