Specified_or_Sole_Source_Selection_Form_-_Fillable.pdf

The document is a Specified or Sole Source Selection Form from Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU), designed to justify procurements through either a sole source or specified source selection method. The form provides checkboxes for three specific sole source scenarios: replacement parts only available from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), services requiring copyrighted drawings or specifications exclusively from the OEM or authorized distributor, and unique goods or services covered under an active U.S. patent or copyright.

The form requires detailed documentation, including an explanation letter from the manufacturer and signatures from the requestor, department head, and executive team. While no specific project details are filled in on this template, the form is clearly structured to provide transparency and justification for procurement decisions that deviate from standard competitive bidding processes. The form is dated for revision on 21 August 2024 and appears to be a standard internal document used by GRU to document and approve non-competitive procurement methods.
