 CITY OF CHARLESTON
 Purchase Request
Date: 01/08/2026
 _____________

To: CITY MANAGER,


I request permission to purchase the following materials and/or supplies: Renewal of our annual
 _________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________
SentinelOne Antivirus/Endpoint Protection and Recovery software through the Omnia Contract.

Purchase justification: To continue our organization’s cybersecurity posture
 __________________________________________________________________

provides real-time threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities.


_____________________________________________________________________________________



If approved, the total purchase price will be: ________________________
 $33,133.56




(Check One)


 The price is less than the $25,000 permitted for purchases without advertising for bids and needing
 approval from City Council. I have not purposefully split the purchase request to keep the purchase
 under the $25,000 threshold and have not favored a particular vendor. I have not shared
 competitive information with any vendor(s).


 The proposed vendor is a sole source provider for the materials/supplies requested. (Skip to ITEM
 A on page 2.)




 Page | 5 of
I have contacted the following responsible vendors and have attached their written quotes for the
requested item(s): (Minimum of 3 Quotes Required)

1. __________________________________

3. __________________________________
 Advizex Price Quote: $_________________
 35,233.00


4. __________________________________ Price Quote: $_________________

5. __________________________________ Price Quote: $_________________


The apparent low-bid vendor meeting specifications is: SHI
 __________________________________

AND

 The low-bid vendor is not delinquent on any financial obligations owed to the City of Charleston
 according to the City Collector’s records, and I recommend authorizing the purchase through the
 low-bid vendor.
OR

 I recommend not contracting with the lowest bidder meeting specifications and instead
 recommend contracting with ______________________________ because:

 _______________________________________________________________________________
 _______________________________________________________________________________
 Additionally, the recommended vendor is not delinquent on any financial obligations owed to the
 City of Charleston according to the City Collector’s records.


ITEM A (For Sole Source Procurements ONLY)

Explain what is unique about this vendor/brand and why your department must purchase this product:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
Identify at least 1 independent third party who has verified the vendor is a sole source for the item(s)
requested to be purchased, and submit his/her written opinion regarding the vendor’s sole source
status:
