Sole Source
- City of Lancaster, OH. Use this when your product is proprietary and essential for continuity, especially for public safety or critical water infrastructure. Reference the city’s past sole source awards (e.g., Axon, Harn) to frame uniqueness. Work with the Service-Safety Director to draft the sole source justification citing the vendor as the exclusive provider, then secure a City Council resolution to dispense with competitive bidding (the city’s standard process). Note: No specific sole source dollar threshold provided; the competitive bidding threshold is $77,250 (2025).
