Valley Stream Central High School

Sole Source: Don’t pursue; Policy 6700 favors competition and the district lacks a sole source track record—redirect to coops.

Coops: Lead with Nassau BOCES or BuyBoard. Confirm your product is on one of these contracts, have the business office validate access, and get the end-user department to request purchase referencing the coop.

Entity: Valley Stream Central High School District, NY.

No documented history of sole source awards; strict adherence to Policy 6700. No specific sole source dollar threshold cited. Given low bid thresholds (goods ≈ $10,000; public works ≈ $20,000) and Board approval for professional services over ≈ $5,000, a sole source path is high-friction and unlikely to succeed. Redirect efforts to cooperative purchasing.
