Sole Source: If sale is less than $200,000, use sole source. If your solution is proprietary tech or a specialized/critical service, partner with the end-user to justify sole source to Purchasing; expect Board approval if >$200,
Coops: If sole source won’t fly, pivot to a cooperative (e.g., Sourcewell or CMAS) and ask Purchasing to piggyback; brief the department on this fast-track.
