26. Purchasing – Sole Sources What is a true Sole Source? -MAPP 04.01.01 - A proprietary purchase is justified only when an equivalent product is not available. When the specification requirement limits consideration to one manufacturer, one product, or one service provider. -National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) -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. The purchasing authority may require a justification from the requesting agency explaining why this is the only source for the requirement.

27. Purchasing – Sole Sources What is a true Sole Source? -How we at UH should interpret to the best of the requester's knowledge and beliefthorough research A "Sole Source" purchase means that only one supplier (source), to the best of the requester's knowledge and belief, based upon thorough research, (i.e. conducting a market survey), or due to Patents that exist on product; as well Copyrights and/or Trademarks is capable of delivering the required product or service. Similar goods and services may exist, but when only one supplier, for reasons of expertise, and/or standardization, compatibility with existing equipment, specifications, or availability, is the only source that is acceptable to meet a specific need(s); such details may help identify a Sole Source procurement.

28. Purchasing – Sole Sources What is a Market Survey? A "market survey" refers to efforts to determine whether other qualified sources capable of satisfying the UH's requirement exist. Testing the marketplace may range from written contacts with suppliers' experts regarding similar or duplicate goods, services & internet searches. The extent of the market survey depends on what constitutes a reasonable effort under the circumstances to ensure that competition is not feasible. If only one source is identified as a result of the market research, this fact may be used to help justify a noncompetitive acquisition. Documentation produced by vendor regarding their products status as a Sole Source, also help to identify a Sole Source procurement.

29. Purchasing – Sole Sources A justification for Sole Source must affirm that no substitute or equivalent product/service exists in the marketplace that can meet operational needs. Purchases which are clearly and legitimately limited to a single (sole) source of supply
