Deputy County Administrator (Hengens) asked the board to authorize a sole-source purchase of Operative IQ, an inventory-management program designed for EMS operations.
Hengens told the board that Operative IQ helps manage pharmaceuticals and medical supplies carried on ambulances and that the City of Fort Worth had previously determined it was a sole-source provider for similar services. He recommended the county proceed with the purchase as outlined in the staff memorandum. The board moved, seconded and approved the request by roll call.
No alternate products or comparative procurement analysis were discussed in detail in the transcript; staff cited precedent and functional need for an EMS-specific inventory-management tool. The item was handled as a staff-recommended procurement for emergency-services operations.
