Sole Source
Unlock details
- City of Overland Park (KS). No specific sole source dollar cap stated. Use only for genuinely proprietary or public-safety specialized items (e.g., drones, unique IT software). Partner with the owning department (e.g., Police, IT) to draft a justification citing unique capabilities not available from other vendors—mirroring the city’s approval of BRINC Drones. If not truly unique, immediately pivot to a cooperative purchase to avoid a high-friction competitive bid (the city’s $5,000 threshold triggers formal competition quickly).
