Sole Source
Unlock details
- City of Agawam (MA) adheres strictly to MGL c.30B, and there is no evidence of sole source awards. 30B provides only narrow exemptions; there is no general sole source dollar threshold. Above $50,000, procurements typically require formal competition. Practical notes: any exemption attempt requires a written determination/justification by the Chief Procurement Officer and must clearly fit a statutory exception. Recommended approach: deprioritize sole source and instead validate a cooperative path or prepare for a public competitive bid.
