Sole Source Procurement
What is a “Sole Source”
Purchase?
Sole Source Procurement: “A situation created due to the
inability to obtain competition. May result because only one
vendor or supplier possesses the unique ability or capability to
meet the particular requirements of the solicitation.” –NIGP
Online Dictionary
• Equipment, Supplies and Consumables:
– Products can only be purchased directly from a manufacturer
that has NO resellers or distributors.
– If resellers are available the purchase is NOT a sole source.
• Consultants and other Specialized Services
– A Consultant has a unique set of knowledge, skills and abilities
that make him/her the ONLY consultant that can do the
required work.
– A Scope of Work is required for all consulting contracts.
What is Not a Sole
Source?
• A company offers a great price or deal, much better than its
competitor.
• A company has the quickest delivery time.
• A company is known for providing the “best” product.
• A contract with the company already exists.
• This company provided the product last time.
• Sold by the manufacturer but there are resellers.
To initiate a Sole Source Purchase include:
Requisition (The template is available on the Procurement and Supply
webpage: http://www.purchase.umd.edu/ , by selecting the “Forms” link. )
• Estimated dollar amount
• Funding source
• Scope of Work or Performance requirements. All mandatory
requirements must be clearly identified.
• Sole Source Justification form.
• The department provides justification using a Sole Source
Justification form. The template is available on the Procurement
and Supply webpage: http://www.purchase.umd.edu/ , by
selecting the “Forms” link. It must be filled out and signed.
• Market Analysis- every sole source justification form must
include information documenting the department’s market
research to find all available vendors able to provide the required
goods or services.
Writing a Sole Source Determination
Questions that address the type of information that should be included
in the sole source:
• What are we purchasing?
•What are the technical requirements?
• Is this the only available product/service that meets all requirements?
•How do we know this is the only product/service that will work?
• Who is the manufacturer?
•How do we know this is the only company/individual that can supply
this product/service?
•Are there any resellers or distributors?
• What market research has been done to look for other products/services
that might meet your requirements? And what were the results of that
market research?
• What are the specific problems with any competitor’s products?
Additional Information about How Sole
Source Purchases are Processed
• The more information included in the sole source justification
form, the better!
• If the equipment or service provider was specifically listed in a
grant or contract as a key part of the University’s effort, provide
pertinent pages of the grant or contract, with the sole source form.
• The information must clearly explain the market research that
was completed to identify this purchase as a sole source.
• Procurement will typically perform independent research to
confirm that this is the only available source. If Procurement
finds there are resellers or distributors available, then a formal
request for quotation will be issued.

no different from any other contract for
services
• Contracts over $5,000 must be

be included in the contracts

Review of Each
Procurement

determine if SBEs are available

Contracts with Small Businesses
(identified with SBE icon)
Chancellor and President
Support MBE and SBR
Programs
• UM and USM Board of Regents supports the
State’s efforts to increase business opportunities
for MBE’s and SBE’s
– Firms that have demonstrated time and again the
ability to provide excellent products and services
• Increasing the MBE participation to 25 percent
is a significant challenge.
• Mandate of SBE participation of 10% also a
challenge
• We also need the assistance and aggressive
effort of every unit on campus to achieve these
new MBE goals and SBE mandate.
How Can You Help?
• Check the master contracts listed on the
Department of Procurement and Supply
website at WWW.PURCHASE.UMD.EDU to
determine if the supplies or services you need
are available for order from an SBE. SBE
master contracts are flagged for that
purpose. Use the purchasing card or ELF
system to place the order.
• Search for SBE sources before placing a
procurement card order with any other
vendor. State-certified SBEs can be located
via the link on the Procurement and Supply
main web page, or via the program Website:
WWW.SMALLBUSINESSRESERVEPROGRAM.
COM
How Can You Help (con’t)
• You can then search by Commodities or
Services to find SBE's capable of meeting
your needs. We think that you will find
that the search tool is very user-friendly.
• Should you know of vendors who may be
qualified for SBE certification, please direct
them to the program website or ask them to
call Procurement and Supply at 301-4055813 for assistance. Online self-certification
takes only minutes to complete.
