Sole Source
Unlock details
- North Thurston Public Schools has no public record of sole source awards. For purchases over $75,000, attempting sole source is high-risk/low-probability and likely to be delayed or rejected in favor of pre-competed cooperative contracts. Practical note: check cooperative options first; do not pursue a sole source letter unless procurement explicitly directs you.
Agency-specific vendor registration, compliance steps, and approval routing shape the purchasing timeline.

Cooperatives
Unlock details
