Sole Source
Unlock details
- University of Massachusetts-Central Office (UPST) supports a sole source/NBJ pathway but it is conditionally viable and scrutinized. A defined NBJ process with CPO-level approval is required; purchasing is centralized, increasing review. Use only when you can clearly show uniqueness, interoperability, or continuity of research/mission need. Expect delays due to invitation-only vendor onboarding. Treat this as a fallback, not a primary path. No specific dollar threshold is indicated.
