Sole Source
- City of Amarillo uses sole source rarely and only for highly specialized needs. No specific sole source dollar threshold is provided here; the city’s low $50,000 competitive bidding threshold drives preference for coops. Practical note: don’t invest time building a sole source case—pivot directly to cooperative purchasing.
