Dear Sir:

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, the sole source provider of maintenance services for Hewlett Packard Equipment, has submitted prices for maintenance for HPE SAN.

In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company in an amount not to exceed $62,699.36.
