TEMPLATE SOLE SOURCE.docx

The document is a notice of intent to award a contract without engaging in a standard procurement process. It explains that a procurement may be made without competitive bid if there is only one source for the required supply or service. The notice requests feedback on the proposed sole source procurement and outlines the steps for contesting the decision if another vendor believes they can provide a comparable or better procurement item. It emphasizes that failure to provide all necessary information will result in exclusion from consideration. The document also mentions that if no valid challenges are received after the public notice period, the Purchasing Department may award the contract to the identified vendor without competition.
