Quick Decision Flow
- Sole Source: Deprioritize. Do not pursue; focus resources on the competitive bid.
- Coops: Not used today; prioritize direct competitive solicitations. Delaware statewide term contracts (MyMarketplace), Sourcewell, and OMNIA Partners may be explored with the buyer. Buyer hasn’t historically used coops, but you can encourage them to explore these procurement programs as future options.
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 Wilmington, DE. There is a consistent lack of sole source awards over $60,000; deprioritize this path. Do not invest time building a sole source justification—monitor the city’s portal and prepare for a formal, competitive RFP instead.
