The Firstlogic Data Quality (CASS, 1 Server, ACE, DataRight IQ, Match/Consolidate) is an address verification software and a tool that allows you to verify and merge address data sets. The Department uses this software as part of its SUNTAX system for general tax revenue processing.

Intended Single Source:

Firstlogic Solutions, LLC 3235 Satellite Blvd, Ste 300 Duluth, GA 30096-8688

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$58,000.00

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):

Without this particular software, the Department would need to rewrite its existing interfaces within its SAP-based SUNTAX system. This is the sytem that collects and processes the state's general revenue. The SUNTAX system interfaces were originally developed with this tool, as it was an SAP-proprietary based tool until recently. The Department received a statement from Firstlogic Solutions that this is proprietary software package and it is only supported by Firstlogic Solutions.

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

Jimmie Harrell, Program Director Zachary Hoskins, Supplier Manager Stephanie Causey, Program Manager Terri Stone, FCCMContract Manager Edwin Valla, Procurement Manager
