View policy pdf: Sole Source Purchase Policy
The State Purchasing Division (SPD) and Board of Regents (BOR) policies require that purchases which exceed the competitive bid threshold be justified if the purchase will not be made through open competition. One type of non-competitive purchase is a sole source purchase. A sole source purchase simply means justifying that only one company can provide the good or service that is needed.
