University of Colorado Boulder (CO) allows streamlined sole source only when the purchase fits a Standard Sole Source Category (examples: software renewals, research-specific chemicals/equipment, items with supplier-held copyrights). Work with the department to confirm category fit and process the order. If it does not fit a standard category, a detailed justification form and price analysis by the purchasing agent are required—higher barrier—so redirect to a cooperative contract when possible.
