SUBJECT: New sole source type added
CONTACT: Lesli Bajema
OMES Central Purchasing has added a sixth sole source type within the PeopleSoft system, which is now available for agencies to select.
New sole source type details
The new sole source type is designated to address procurements where the use of a specific vendor is mandated by legislative action.
-
PeopleSoft Selection Title: TYP6 – Statutory Requirement
-
Reason for Sole Source: The Legislature names a specific supplier an agency must use, either in an appropriation bill or statute.
Agency certification requirements
To validate the selection of TYP6 – Statutory Requirement, the requesting agency's certification must:
- Provide the relevant bill information (e.g., bill number, section).
- Include the specific language from the bill or statute that mandates the use of the named supplier.
This documentation is essential to demonstrate the legal basis and validity of the sole source selection.
PIM updates
The Sole Source PIM is being updated to reflect this new sixth sole source type and its specific requirements. We will notify you once the revised PIM is officially published.
Please share this information with all relevant procurement staff within your agency.
