Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company to furnish and deliver Hewlett Packard Maintenance for HPE Servers and SANs. The term of this purchase order is February 1, 2017 to January 31, 2018.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, the sole source provider of Maintenance Services for Hewlett Packard Equipment, has submitted prices for maintenance for HPE Servers and SANs. Inasmuch as Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company is the only source of supply for the services required, said purchase order may be issued without competitive bidding pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
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 $114,725.38.
Funds are available in Account 101-27000-612810.
