Full $282,660 cybersecurity grant paid to one vendor without competitive bids
What happened
In March the board accepted a $282,660.49 North Dakota emergency cybersecurity grant. On April 15 it approved paying the same amount to Marco Technology as a sole-source purchase. The same night it approved a sole-source propane contract with Standing Rock Propane for 2026-27.
Why it matters to families
Sole-source purchases skip competitive bids. The minutes do not say what equipment or services the grant buys.
