Sole Source: If sale is less than $25,000, prefer a direct purchase with a simple quote and request department head/board approval as needed; deprioritize sole source unless they insist and can justify.
Coops: For larger needs, suggest using a State of Michigan MiDEAL contract (or similar co-op) to avoid a formal bid; offer to walk the Supervisor/Clerk through it. Buyer hasn’t historically used coops, but you can encourage them to explore these procurement programs as future options.
Almena Township: No published sole source process identified; no evidence of sole source contracting. Practical path is a direct purchase under the presumptive $25,000 MCL competitive bidding threshold.
