Liane,

You probably don't have the authority (and perhaps not even your
governor does either) to waive sovereign immunity.  In any case, I
would advise against agreeing to or negotiating this point with the
vendor.  The vendor needs to strike the clause or you should walk away
from the offer.

~Scott
