Sole Source
Unlock details
- For Northern Illinois University (NIU), use sole source when the product is proprietary, uniquely compatible with existing campus systems (e.g., HVAC, software), or essential for a specific grant-funded research project. Work directly with the end-user department to draft a detailed sole source justification that procurement can post on the Illinois Public Higher Education Procurement Bulletin. Be prepared for a public notice period. Contracts over $250,000 require approval from the Board of Trustees, which can add time to the procurement cycle.
