The University awarded a contract for CBORD software to CBORD Group, Inc., Ithica, IL, for an estimated $454,262.14.
This purchase is for the annual maintenance and support of the software and equipment for the CBORD systems currently owned by EIU and utilized in the day to day operations. This covers repairs, technical support, and software licensing for all the components of the existing system, including Foodservice Systems (FSS), Housing Management Systems (HMS), Micros Cash Register System, EventMaster, and the Odyssey (meal card) System.
The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the compatibility of equipment, accessories, replacement parts, or service is a paramount consideration. The CBORD specialized software is unique to meet the needs of dining and housing services provided at EIU. CBORD software is proprietary, and the company does not allow access to the system by other parties. Continued access to CBORD support and maintenance will ensure that our operation has minimal disruptions.
