ENCLOSURES:
An investigation was conducted by staff to determine whether Avatier Corporation, located at 12647
Alcosta Boulevard, Suite 140, San Ramon, California, 94583, is the sole source provider of the
Password Station Universal Logon with software upgrades, maintenance and support, for the
Department of Information Technology.
The Department of Information Technology purchased the Avatier Identity Management Server and
Password Station core functionality, including three (3) years of upgrades, maintenance and support
in October 2006, in the amount of $22,050. In order to maintain compatibility of equipment and
software, the department is requesting the purchase of an additional module, the Password Station
Universal Logon, which will allow users to manager their account without the need to contact the
"Help Desk" by enabling users to unlock or reset their password using the same logon screen used to
gain access to their workstations.
Avatier products allow everyday administrative tasks to be streamlined, simplified, and delegated.
Avatier products expand network security through enhanced policies, powerful auditing, extensive
reporting and appropriately delegated management capabilities. Avatier Corporation has no
reseliers or distributors in the United States authorized to sell their line of software products or
subscriptions.
Accordingly, I am recommending pursuant to Section 18-92(1) of the Procurement Code that the
requirements for competitive bidding be waived, and these findings be approved: Avatier Corporation,
located at 12647 Alcosta Boulevard, Suite 140, San Ramon, California, 94583, is the sole source
provider of the Password Station Universal Logon with three years of software upgrades,
maintenance and support, for the Department of Information Technology, in an amount not to exceed
$10,800. Funding is to be provided from the Department of Information Technology, Account Code
00001.251000.554000.0000.00000.
