Is this a Technology Procurement?
Yes
No
Needs Statement: 
Describe in detail the material or service to be procured and 
how only it meets your needs.
The MCAO has provided pen register and Title III services for law enforcement agencies 
throughout Maricopa County.  Our existing infrastructure does not affort us the 
capabilities to intercept traditional or current cellular networking protocols.  This 
firmware refresh will allow the MCAO to continue to provide key technology to local 
law enforcement for the investigation and prosecution of criminal offenders.
Features/Requirements: 
Identify the major features/capabilities that are required. What 
unique design/performance feature(s) make this material or 
vendor the only one that can meet your requirements? Provide 
a brief explanation as to why only these features or this vendor 
can meet your requirements. Identify the manufacturer/model 
or your existing equipment, service or system if applicable. 
The quotes provided by JSI includes costs to replace existing hardware and software, 
the purchase of a software applications, and the annual maintenance renewal. The 
upgrade of firmware is necessary to ensure system compatibility, which is under 
warranty and maintained by JSI. 
 
Competing Brands/Vendors Investigated: 
Did you consider other materials or vendors with similar 
capabilities? Indicate specific competitor's brands/models or 
vendors that were investigated and describe why they do not 
meet your requirements. You need to state that - to the best of 
your knowledge - these are the only companies making this 
material, equipment or providing this service. List sales 
representatives and their phone numbers so the Procurement 
Officer can contact them to verify that other materials, 
equipment or services do not meet your requirements.
JSI is the copyright holder of JSI Unified Collection Management System and 
proprietary integration software. There are no competing brands or vendors.

SEARCH 
MC1-349-A states: Any request by a Using Agency that a Procurement be restricted to one potential Contractor shall be accompanied by 
an explanation as to why no other would be suitable or acceptable to meet the need. The Using Agency requesting sole source 
Procurement shall provide written evidence to support a sole source determination. A requirement for a particular proprietary item does 
not alone justify a sole source Procurement if there is more than one potential Respondent for that item.

PRICE
Price has been fairly and reasonably established by: 
Describe methodology and results (attach any written supporting data, e.g., survey or market analysis): 
The County Attorney currently owns existing hardware and the proprietary software (under copyright) that is currently warrantied and serviced by JSI all 
system upgrades must be purchased directly from them.
The MCAO last upgraded our existing system from JSI in 2015.  At the time of this purchase, the County Attorney reviewed other services and it was 
recommended to purchase the JSI system based on price and system capability.  Since we are refreshing our existing infrastructure, JSI will utilize 
existing components and replace what is necessary to maintain system compatibility, which is reflected in the quoted lower price.
