A single source procurement is a procurement in which only one source has been solicited usually due to a uniqueness of the service or technology requested. Other sources may be available using slightly different technology. Unless there are compelling reasons to support a single source, these should be avoided due to the perception of impropriety.
Conversely, a sole source procurement is where only one source possesses the unique and singularly available capability to meet the specification requirement and there are no other available sources or substitutions; e.g., replacement OEM parts, etc. This must be justified and backed up with the appropriate documentation.
Purchase Orders are used for planned material/supply purchases. Blanket Purchase Agreements are usually established annually for obtaining materials and supplies for: non-inventoried items; emergencies; etc. Contracts are used for any fixed-price or fixed-unit price purchases, large-scale apparatus or professional services where there may be the exposure of risk/liability to the Agency or special warranty provisions requiring added coverage. Agreements are usually used for multi-party arrangements or specialized services. Agreement pricing could fluctuate based upon predetermined factors; e.g., lease agreements, maintenance agreements, etc.
