Sole Source
Unlock details
- Kalamazoo County, MI: Given the lack of transparently documented sole source awards above the $25,000 threshold and the rarity of such practices, skip this path and immediately pursue cooperative contracting options. If a unique, proprietary solution is truly the only option, be prepared for a rigorous justification process that aligns with the county's defined criteria (single source, emergency, inadequate competition) and anticipate high friction.
Agency-specific vendor registration, compliance steps, and approval routing shape the purchasing timeline.
