Quick Decision Flow
- Sole Source: Do not pursue sole source; pivot to a coop path.
- Coops: Frequently procures through Washington DES Statewide Contracts, Sourcewell, and OMNIA; 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
- Cowlitz County, WA: There is no clear evidence the County uses sole source routinely. If attempted, expect extensive legal review and Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approval. Purchases over $25,000 require formal bidding, and purchases over $2,500 can require BOCC approval, increasing friction. Practical note: Unless the buyer can meet a stringent sole source justification and obtain approvals, immediately pivot to a cooperative contract.
