Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Idaho Information Technology Services has requested an exemption from competition for the purchase of Avatier's password reset tool.; The current solution expires on August 2nd which will leave approximately 2200 staff without a password reset option other than manual resets through ITS service desk personnel. The impact of this is severe considering IDOC is responsible for life and safety of correctional residents and staff. Access to systems is paramount to ensuring the life and safety mission over the 24/7 schedule that IDOC operates. Password reset tasks delay that access tremendously, especially after working hours when access to ITS staff is difficult. Automating these tasks through software is necessary to ensure access to the systems used to protect life and safety during all days and hours. By approving our OTE, we would be able to leverage Avatier legacy on-premise pricing which is very low compared to current cloud solutions that have extra features not needed for this use case
