Procurement Sole Source and Special Procurement Request

Check the reason(s) below to identify why you have determined the purchase is a Sole Source or Special
Procurement and attach supporting documentation. Use only column. A purchase cannot be BOTH a sole source
and a special procurement

O

SOLE SOURCE
Compatibility. Indicate system, make, model and
function
Unique repair/replacement item. Identify item to be
used with previous PO number item purchased, and
warranty period

Supplementary or necessary part required from
same manufacturer. Identify in-house equipment
and use with existing system

Unique Item or Services

Proprietary Specifications (Copyright, patented,
etc.)

Other reasons, if not above. Explain in justification

SPECIAL PROCURMENT
Presents such limited competition that a competitive
bid or proposal process cannot reasonably be used

Discourages the use of a competitive bid or proposal as
it will result in a substantially higher cost to the city, or
will otherwise impair the city’s financial interests

Substantially impede the city’s administrative
functions or the delivery of services to the public

Does not qualify as a sole source or emergency

Has only one provider with the experience and
capability to successfully perform the contract

Presents a significant time constraint as the need was
not known in sufficient time to allow for competitive
procurement and time is of the essence

JUSTIFICATION:
Use the Guidelines for Justification of the selected reason(s) above, and provide a full explanation of
your reason that the product/service is a sole source or special procurement. Attach all supporting
documentation. For a special procurement, attach selected vendor quote and supporting
documentation. For a sole source request, you must attach vendor sole source letter, quote, and
supporting documentation:

In 2021, Fire Resource Management Division did a search for an asset inventory and tracking system for personal protective equipment for
over a year. Standard Automation dba PS Trax were the only vendor to offer a uniquely tailored product for Glendale Fire and at the lowest
quote. GFD has utilized all 7 modules: Vehicles, Fire Stations, SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus), PPE (personal protective

equipment), Critical Assets, Supplies and Controlled Substance. The Fire Department has utilized the PSTrax solution since 2021 and
expanded from 5 modules to 7 modules in 2025, adding the Supplies Module for EMS supplies and Controlled Substance Module. PS Trax's
software and associated modules are proprietary. The initial launch of this system took several months to implement and is now considered the

industry standard. ay ens vel
MANDALORY

well for us and we would like to continue with this software system. Sole source letter from vendor

CH DOCUMENTATION REQUIREME

Provide a ere zieziatiation of efforts made to determine the availability of the product or service
from any other vendor, including other distributors:
The Glendale Fire Department performed the initial RFQ process when it was determined that we needed a program to track assets and
equipment. The Fire Department added the Supplies Module and Controlled Substances module to support the Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) Division in 2025. The EMS Division explored other solutions to address managing supplies and controlled substances, and determined
that PS Trax was a good solution. At this point, we are embedded in this program and switching would take time and money that is
unnecessary as PS Trax meets the Fire Department's needs. PS Trax's software and associated modules are proprietary.
