Why do you advertise sole source transactions, especially requests for parts or services available only from the manufacturer or a utility company?
A. Sole source procurements for which the total cost equals or exceeds the dollar level requiring a State mandated competitive selection process must be advertised on the Illinois Higher Education Procurement Bulletin for a minimum of 14 days. If no other supplier challenges this sole source determination within the 14-day posting period, a contract may be executed with the sole source supplier. If a challenge is received, the Purchasing Division shall consider the challenge information. If Purchasing finds the challenge is supported, it will cancel the sole source request and commence a competitive procurement.
