Quick Decision Flow
- Sole Source: If sale is less than $10,000, use sole source.
- Coops: Frequently procures through 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
- Cleveland County, OK has little evidence of awarding sole source contracts. Non-competed contracts over $25,000 require significant justification, and the county has a low $10,000 competitive bidding threshold—expect rigid documentation and approvals. Practical guidance: skip sole source and use cooperative purchasing to avoid delays.
