Sole Source
Unlock details
- Gateway Community College (via MCCCD) discourages sole source procurement. While a waiver process exists for proprietary technology, it is not a reliable or transparent primary path. Direct purchases face high procedural friction, and the district’s very low ~$5,000 competitive bidding threshold accelerates the need for competition. Practical takeaway: steer buyers to coops; only pursue a waiver if the product is demonstrably unique and mission-critical.
