Sole Source
Unlock details
- Town of Stoughton: Sole source should be deprioritized. The Town relies on formal competitive bidding for purchases over $10,000 (sealed bids commonly at $50,000), leaving little room for sole source awards. Practical notes: expect strict justification and approvals if attempted; default to running a competitive bid via the Town’s procurement portal.
