Specified_or_Sole_Source_Selection_Form_-_Fillable.pdf

The document is a Specified or Sole Source Selection form from Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU), dated 21 August 2024, designed to document procurement of goods or services through either a sole source or specified source method. The form provides checkboxes for three specific sole source justification scenarios: replacement parts only available from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), services requiring copyrighted drawings or specifications exclusively from an OEM or authorized service center, or a unique good or service covered under an active U.S. patent or copyright.

The form requires detailed documentation, including a project name, date, and mandatory justification for a specified source procurement. It mandates signatures from the requestor, department head, and executive team to validate the source selection process. While no specific project details are filled in, the form establishes a structured approach for GRU to procure specialized equipment, parts, or services that cannot be obtained through standard competitive bidding processes, ensuring transparency and documented rationale for non-competitive procurement selections.
