Specified_or_Sole_Source_Selection_Form_-_Fillable.pdf

This is a Specified or Sole Source Selection Form from Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU), a Florida-based government entity, used to justify the procurement method for the annual provision of three-phase pad-mounted transformers. The form provides a structured framework for determining whether a procurement should be classified as a sole source or specified source acquisition. Sole source justifications are permitted when replacement parts are available only from the original equipment manufacturer, when services require copyrighted drawings or specifications exclusively available from the OEM or authorized distributor, or when the good or service is covered under an active U.S. patent or copyright. The form requires detailed documentation supporting the selected procurement method and must be signed by the requestor, department head, and executive team prior to proceeding with the acquisition.

The form itself contains no specific pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, set-asides, or funding information. It functions solely as an internal approval document that establishes the procurement justification before GRU moves forward with acquiring the three-phase pad-mounted transformers. Requestors must provide supporting documentation such as explanation letters from manufacturers when claiming sole source status based on OEM exclusivity or patent/copyright protections.
