Sole Source Policy Section.pdf

The document outlines the process for sole source procurements, where a contract can be awarded without competition if there is only one appropriate source for the product or service. The Purchasing Agent must conduct a good faith review of available resources and obtain approval from the Finance Officer. Negotiations on price, delivery, and terms may be conducted. A record of sole source procurements must be maintained in the electronic financial system as a public record, detailing each vendor, the purchase amount and type, and the items procured from each vendor.
