Procurement Exemption for Professional Services for Proprietary Infor Software

Pierce County is exercising its authority under Chapter 2.106 of its code to directly negotiate the procurement of professional services exclusively for the maintenance, support, and integration of proprietary Infor software, acknowledging that the software’s specialized nature limits availability to a single source. This procurement is not a competitive solicitation, and no formal bids or proposals will be accepted; however, vendors with relevant expertise may submit capability statements by the deadline of August 20, 2026, to demonstrate their qualifications and compatibility with the county’s specific system requirements. The contract is managed by the Procurement and Contract Services division in Tacoma, Washington, with Russell Wrigg serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries and submissions. The purpose is to ensure uninterrupted operation of critical county systems that rely on Infor’s proprietary platform, which cannot be substituted without significant operational, technical, or financial disruption.
