Justification for Sole Source
The acquisition was justified as a sole source procurement because Canon, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), is deemed the only vendor capable of providing the required specialized services. This includes 24/7 technical and application support, enhancements to proprietary software, and the use of OEM-certified technicians. The use of third-party providers was considered to pose risks of equipment damage and additional repair costs.
