Sole Source
Unlock details
- City of Seguin uses sole source extremely rarely. Only pursue if your product is unequivocally proprietary and essential for public health and safety with no viable alternatives (similar to the P2 Emulsions pavement stabilizer). Otherwise, pivot to cooperative contracts. The City’s low $50,000 competitive bidding threshold means non-qualifying sole source attempts will likely fail and waste resources.
