Signed Sole Source Memo- Commissioner.pdf

This is a Signed Sole Source Memorandum from a Pennsylvania government agency authorizing a sole source procurement for maintenance services related to BQ50 machines. The document establishes the procurement authority for awarding a contract without competitive bidding, indicating that the agency has determined there is only one capable source for the required maintenance services. The procurement is structured as a micro purchase that may be awarded in its entirety or by individual line items, depending on which approach best serves the City's interests. All bidders must quote all items to be considered eligible for award, and no services are to be delivered or work commenced until official notification is received from the requesting department.

The sole source justification supports awarding the contract to a single vendor based on the specialized nature of BQ50 machine maintenance and the determination that competition is not practicable. As a micro purchase, the contract likely falls below established competitive bidding thresholds, allowing for streamlined procurement procedures. The memorandum has been signed by the Commissioner, providing the necessary authorization for the City to proceed with the sole source award. Vendors responding to this opportunity must be prepared to provide comprehensive quotes covering all line items and maintain readiness to commence work upon receipt of official departmental authorization.
