Sole Source: If sale is less than $100,000, sell direct to avoid formal bidding; sole source is permitted but not used—pivot to direct under $100k or a cooperative.

Coops: $100,000 or more: propose buying via their Sourcewell membership to bypass formal bidding. Tip: If they’re open to coops, mention MiDEAL, CoPro+, Sourcewell, or NPPGov. Buyer hasn’t historically used coops/resellers, but you can encourage them to explore these procurement programs and these resellers as future options.
