Sole Source
- City of Allentown (PA) occasionally uses sole source for proprietary IT (e.g., ESRI, NetApp) and unique services. Work with the purchasing department to prepare the sole source justification form and secure City Council approval, referencing the city code that allows non-competitive contracts. If your product is not a clear proprietary fit, deprioritize sole source and move to cooperative contracting options.
