Reason *
Attach documentation from the manufacturer certifying the vendor selected is the only distributor/dealer/contractor for the products or services in question and/or holds the
production, unique capability, copyrights, trademark, and/or patent to the item, and check the following applicable statement(s):
Patent, copyright or unique design restrictions. (Sole Source)
Proprietary rights in technical data and/or product formulations (e.g. cleaning compounds, lubricating oils, paint, etc.), which can only be determined through
extensive laboratory analysis and examination. (Sole Source)
Only producer, such as utility supplier or construction material supplier, that will meet the specialized needs of the department or perform the intended function.
(Sole Source)
Direct replacement parts, equipment or supplies that must be compatible with original equipment already installed but available only from the original equipment
manufacturer. Most manufacturers have more than one dealer or distributor for their products. When this is the case, competition between dealers and/or
distributors may be possible, eliminating the “sole or single source” restriction. (Single Source)
When tests and/or demonstrations of equipment, supplies, part, etc. under actual operating conditions reveal superior quality, performance, design or other
characteristics in a brand product(s), which is available from only one source. Testing must be performed as often as practical. (Single Source)
Purchases for a brand product are to be made from one selected supplier, even though there are other suppliers that provide similar products. Options, such as
pricing, availability, servicing, have been vetted and a supplier has been chosen that best meets the City’s needs. (Single Source)
Maintenance, repair services or warranty which require specialized test equipment, procedures, and technical expertise available only from the original
equipment manufacturer or authorized/licensed dealer/field service representative. (Single Source)
The part(s)/equipment are required to permit standardization and operating efficiencies within the organization and the parts and equipment are only available
thorough a sole or single source. If competition is available, the parts and equipment must be competed. For brand-specific items, quotes should still be
obtained. (Standardization)
Other: None or some of the above apply. Provide detailed justification below.
