Regarding single source other risks, made changes to the first sentence (to reflect the multiple risks), and the last sentence (because I wasn't happy with it). Multisourcing ------------- Single sourcing products means accepting several risks, including the risk that the single source will become abusive. Recently, Microsoft was found guilty by the Department of Justice of abusing its monopoly power. Maricopa County has a clause (MC1-902) in its procurment procedure to deal with such vendors, but Maricopa County is currently too dependant to even consider invoking the clause with Microsoft. What efforts are being made to mitigate Maricopa County's dependance on a single source which has been found guilty of abusing dependant customers?
