Citrix Systems, Inc., the manufacturer, and sole source of supply, has submitted prices for the software licensing, maintenance, and support required.

Citrix Systems, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because the classification of work does not fall within the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Appendix A and Appendix V are not included in this contract because the estimate is less than the minimum threshold established by Section 4 of the Affirmative Action Ordinance.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to Citrix Systems, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $64,411.20.
