PURCH-Sole Source Justification Form (Rev 011014).docx

The document is a Sole Source Justification form that outlines the criteria for declaring a purchase as a sole source procurement. It defines a sole source as a unique and singularly available performance capability, where the required supplies or services are only available from one specific source. The form requires details about the proposed vendor, estimated cost, reasons for sole sourcing (such as one-of-a-kind item, compatibility, unique design), specific features provided by the vendor, efforts to identify other sources, and facts supporting the non-competitive process. It also includes a section on price reasonableness, where the requester must justify the fairness of the proposed price. The form concludes with a statement of need and certification, signed by the requestor, procurement manager, department head, and CEO, authorizing the sole source acquisition based on the provided information.
