Sole Source
- Entity: Chester Upland School District, PA.
- Non-competitive awards have stemmed from systemic failures rather than strategy; the sole source path is unpredictable. Redirect to cooperative purchasing and frame the offer as pre-competed via Sourcewell under Policy 613 to mitigate risk. Context: Pennsylvania’s low formal bidding threshold ($23,800) drives frequent RFPs, making the cooperative channel the safer route.
