Sole-Source Orders Policy: FIN-PURCH-04 allows for valid exceptions to the competitive bid thresholds discussed in Policy FIN-PURCH-03: Competition and Sourcing.
These exceptions must be fully documented to confirm the circumstances warrant the use of this procurement method and to demonstrate the reasonableness of the offer. The policy details things to considerto warrant a sole source justification. Guidelines on how to follow the process, including a link to the Sole/Single Source Request Form, can be found within SOP-PURCH-05 Sole Source/Single Source Documentation.
