City of Thomasville

Sole Source: If sale is less than $15,000, sole source may be permissible; deprioritize and pivot to coops/resellers.

Coops: Ask to purchase via a cooperative contract (start with Sourcewell) to avoid a formal bid.

Entity: City of Thomasville, Alabama.

Policy allows sole source, but there’s no evidence of awards via this method; it’s not a viable path here. The City’s competitive bid threshold is very low ($15,000), pushing most purchases into formal competition, which further limits sole source viability. Practical note: Expect heavy scrutiny and limited success—use cooperative channels instead.
