Sole Source

Sole Source. Sole source contracts involve noncompetitive items available from only one [1] source. For sole-source items, a certification of the conditions and circumstances requiring the purchase shall be filed by the UA with the BOB. Upon receipt of the certification, the BOB may authorize the purchase in writing, subject to approval by the PPRB at its next regular meeting thereafter. Sole source items should generally be removed from the general construction bid and procured separately. Sole source items required for integration into existing access control or fire alarm systems may be included in the general construction bid as noted in Rule 4.1(g)(3)(e) subject to approval of the BOB and do not require PPRB approval.
