Quick Decision Flow
- Sole Source: If sale is less than $50,000, only attempt if the buyer insists and can justify; otherwise pivot back to coops.
- Coops: Frequently procures through BuyBoard, Texas DIR Cooperative Contracts, OMNIA Partners, and Sourcewell; you can gain access through the Starbridge reseller & contract-vehicle platform — reach out to your Starbridge contact to pursue onboarding.
Registered vendors: NYC's Vendor Enrollment Center processes W-9 and PIP registration in 3-5 business days for prime bidders.
MOCS threshold triggers a formal RFx workflow — plan for 60-90 days from solicitation to award depending on category.
Sole Source
- City of Waco: Given the lack of evidence for sole source awards above the $50,000 threshold, deprioritize this path. Instead of pursuing a sole source justification, immediately pivot all resources to the cooperative purchasing channels, which are the city's explicitly preferred and lowest-friction procurement methods.
