Peralta Community College System Office, CA allows sole source with justification above $10,000 and Purchasing review. Not a primary path; use when uniqueness is defensible (compatibility, patented tech, emergency/continuity) and a department champion supports it. Risks: Purchasing scrutiny, potential Board sensitivity at higher dollars, and limited public precedent. Practical: prepare a clear justification and compatibility statement; route early to Purchasing and anticipate Board review on larger awards.
Agency-specific vendor registration, compliance steps, and approval routing shape the purchasing timeline.
