Lincoln County

Sole Source: Position as proprietary/unique or required for continuity/integration; work with the champion to get Board approval.

Coops: If not, route via a Wisconsin statewide contract through an approved reseller to avoid a local RFP. Buyer hasn’t historically used coops/resellers, but you can encourage them to explore these procurement programs and these resellers as future options.

Entity: Lincoln County, WI.

Practical path: Non-competitive contracts require County Board approval. Build a strong justification with the champion department, citing proprietary integration or unique, strategic need (similar to prior approvals for CivicPlus and Discover WI). Prepare a concise justification memo and Board-ready packet (problem statement, why only this solution, integration/continuity risks if changed, pricing/term, and market check showing no equivalent alternatives).
