Quick Decision Flow
- Sole Source: If sale is less than $1,000, use sole source.
- Coops: Lead with a cooperative purchasing path (e.g., Sourcewell). For cloud, use cooperative purchasing through statewide or cooperative vehicles to avoid a formal bid.
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 Cranston, RI: No evidence the city uses sole-source awards. The city rigidly enforces competitive bidding, and an extremely low ~$1,000 threshold triggers formal processes, making sole source impractical. Deprioritize this path and steer stakeholders to cooperative purchasing instead.

MOCS threshold triggers a formal RFx workflow — plan for 60-90 days from solicitation to award depending on category.
Cooperatives
