SOLE SOURCE/BRAND REQUEST
When a request is made for a non-competitive purchase and the specifications limit the bidding to one source and/or one brand or trade name, the requesting department must complete the following:
VENDOR/COMPANY NAME: _______________________________________________________________
1. Please check one:
SOURCE: Item is available from one source only. Item is one-of-a kind and is exclusively sold through a regional authorized distributor or the manufacturer is the only distributor.
SOLE BRAND: Various sources can supply the specified model and brand, and competitive bids will be solicited for the requested brand only. Meets form, fit and function - nothing else will do.
STANDARDIZATION REQUEST: The City of Victorville ______________________ (Department name) Department requires the item(s) to standardize parts; design; quality; training; etc...
2. W
hat are the unique performance features of the product / brand requested that are not available in any other product / brand? (For services: What unique qualifications’, rights, licenses does this vendor possess?)
3. Why are the unique performance features REQUIRED (not merely preferred), and how would your requirement be inhibited without this service or item? N/A
4. If justification is based on matching and/or interdependent with existing equipment (refer to 1. Standardization Request), list the quantity, manufacturer, brand, and model of the existing equipment and why the matching is required.
I am aware of the City of Victorville’s policy for competitive bidding and the established criteria for sole source/sole brand purchasing. Therefore, I feel confident that this request for sole source/sole brand procurement meets the City of Victorville’s criteria and will withstand an audit or a vendor protest.
