Sole Source Determination FormA Sole source purchase is defined as only one supplier for the required service, construction or item of tangible personal property, to the best of the Purchasing Department’s knowledge based on market research. Sole source purchases are made in accordance with 13-1-126 NMSA 1978.
A sole source determination is not effective until the determination has been approved, in writing by the Chief Procurement Officer or designee even if signed by the department and/or school, or prospective contractor.
