This non-competitive award, identified by solicitation number SRC-WSU-2026-000529-Single and reference number WSU-2025-000524, is justified as a renewal based on the necessity for compatibility with existing hardware and software, as well as the inability to obtain mandatory support from third-party vendors.

The notice was posted on January 19, 2026, with a response deadline of February 3, 2026.

No formal evaluation factors or competitive bidding criteria were established due to the justified single-source nature of the acquisition.
