Sole Source
Unlock details
- City of Danbury will consider sole source when the product is genuinely proprietary, essential for continuity with existing systems, or uniquely capable. Work with the end-user department to produce a strong written justification for Purchasing. Contracts over $15,000 require approval from the Board of Awards. If your offer doesn’t clearly meet these criteria, deprioritize sole source and pivot to cooperative contracting to avoid a long, likely unsuccessful process.
