Quick Decision Flow
- Sole Source: If sale is less than $5,000, use sole source.
- Coops: Coops aren’t used today; mention Indiana QPAs/OneIndiana, HGACBuy, or OMNIA Partners, and you can gain access to OMNIA Partners through the Starbridge reseller & contract-vehicle platform — reach out to your Starbridge contact to pursue onboarding.
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 Lawrence, IN: No evidence of sole source awards above the competitive threshold—deprioritize this path. Practical focus: complete contractor registration, submit Certificate of Insurance, and monitor the bid portal to pursue formal competitive solicitations. Expect high documentation requirements, local preference considerations, and a very low $5,000 council approval threshold that pushes purchases into formal bids.
