City of Lindsay, OK:Sole source is extremely high-risk due to recent audit findings and past non-compliant purchasing. Deprioritize and pivot to transparent, compliant methods. Focus on rebuilding trust by following procedure rather than seeking exceptions. Most significant purchases will require a formal competitive bid at the $35,000 threshold.
Agency-specific vendor registration, compliance steps, and approval routing shape the purchasing timeline.

There is no evidence of compliant cooperative use; the city was cited for improper use of an out-of-state coop.
