Sole Source: Not a viable path here—redirect to competitive bidding unless Purchasing explicitly instructs otherwise.
Coops: Buyer hasn’t historically used coops/resellers, but you can encourage them to explore NC Statewide Term Contracts, NCDIT Statewide IT Contracts, NCSA Vehicle Program, OMNIA Partners as future options.
City of Hickory: No evidence of sole source awards; deprioritize this path. Focus on formal competitive bidding via the Public Purchase portal.
Practical notes: Complete vendor registration and required forms (Vendor Application, E-Verify, Sales Tax Certification). Expect significant insurance and, when applicable, bonding requirements. Formal bidding thresholds for goods are high (around $90,000), so most larger buys will be competitively bid.
