Town of Riverhead (NY). No practical sole source path is recommended based on lack of awards in public records—deprioritize. Competitive bidding for purchase contracts generally kicks in at $20,000, making sole source attempts high-risk. If attempted, expect to provide a robust written justification and market research; coordinate early with Purchasing. Faster path: use cooperative piggybacking instead.
