City of SeaTac, WA. There is a lack of accessible public records on sole source awards, making this path high friction and uncertain. Deprioritize and pivot to cooperative purchasing channels authorized under SMC 3.31.150. Formal competitive bidding is triggered around $50,000, so larger buys benefit from coops. If sole source is pursued, expect formal justification and approvals; verify current requirements directly with Procurement.
