Innovations Corp.

Type of Sole/Single Source
Is this a Single Source or Sole Source requisition? Sole Source
Is this Sole Source a one-time or on-going requisition? On-Going
Estimated Annual Expenditures for one year: $ 15,000.00
Is there a contract related to these services? Yes ✔ No

Sole/Single Source Rationale
Use the following items to explain why the recommended company is the only company
who can perform the requirement.
The required items are proprietary to the contractor.
A specific item is needed:
To be compatible or interchangeable with existing hardware
As a space or replacement hardware
For the repair or modification of existing hardware
✔
For technical evaluation or test
✔
Vendor is the original equipment manufacturer; there are no regional distributors.
Verification from manufacturer is attached
This is the only equipment that meets the specialized needs of the department and
performs the intended function. Detailed justification is attached.
This Vendor is the sole distributor that is restricted by the manufacturer to our territory.
Verification from the manufacturer is attached.
✔
It is not possible to obtain competition (i.e., only one source is capable of supplying the
items or meeting the requirements).
In a brief explanation on the next page, provide supporting evidence for the conclusion; other
✔
sources considered should be identified and why they are not able to meet the requirements.
There is substantial technical risk in contracting with any other contractor, thereby
making that an unacceptable course of action (e.g., where only one contractor has been
successful to date in implementing a difficult manufacturing process).
For support services effort, there is a reasonable expectation that a meaningful cost or
other improvement could be made in the incumbent contractor’s performance (e.g., the
chances of another firm winning a competition are clearly remote).

Acknowledgement
This section must be completed.
I am aware of the Town’s requirements for competitive bidding for purchases over
$00.00 and the criteria for justification for Single Source/Sole. I have gathered the
required technical information and have made a concerted effort to review comparable/
equal equipment (e.g., market research). I have attached the pertinent documentation
showing what market research was conducted to preclude other items from consideration.
