Justification for Single Source Purchase (what is necessary and unique about the commodity, contractual service, or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

Historically, the Department contracted with the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) because it was the only vendor offering vehicle valuation software compatible with mainframe system requirements. JD Power acquired the NADA valuation system and rebranded it as JD Power Values, integrating NADA’s trusted valuation methodology with JD Power’s broader data analytics capabilities. JD Power remains the sole nationally recognized provider whose vehicle valuation data is consistently relied upon by automobile dealers and financial institutions for determining used‑vehicle values. As a result, JD Power is the only source that can provide the standardized, industry‑accepted valuation data required by the Department.

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

Laura Kirksey, Director of Business Operations, Office of Economic Self Sufficiency Jamie Dattoli, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Economic Self Sufficiency Bridget Royster, Assistant Secretary, Office of Economic Self Sufficiency Aman Punwani, Chief of Budget Policy and Operations for EL, ESS and SAMH Tom Valentine, Office of General Counsel Andrea Latham, Director of ACCESS Application Services, Office of Information Technology Services
