EOSI was purchased and is now a subsidiary of Sirsi Corporation which is doing business as

SirsiDynix.

FWRI is also projecting a need to upgrade our Enterprise licensing within the next five years to accommodate an increase in users, storage space and reporting.

Intended Single Source:

Sirsi Corporation dba SirsiDynix

3300 North Ashton Blvd Ste 500

Lehi, UT 84043

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$60,000.00

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):

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission agency library catalog records are currently formatted in EOS’s proprietary format and would require conversion with loss of record information, and a considerable amount of training would be required if converted to a new and different library software package.

Sirsi Corporation dba SirsiDynix is the only source for maintenance and support of this proprietary EOS product due to the custom components which were programmed by the former

EOSI with FWRI’s specifications to address copyright and non-sales related transactions.

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

Gil McRae, FWRI, Director

René Baumstark, FWRI, Section Leader IS&M

Donna Szemer, FWRI, Administrative Assistant II IS&M
