A contract may be awarded without a competitive solicitation regardless of the estimated cost when the Chief Procurement Officer makes a determination, after conducting a good faith review of available sources and consulting the user department, that there is only one source for the required goods, services, or construction. The Chief Procurement Officer or designee shall conduct negotiations, as appropriate, as to price, delivery and quantity in order to obtain the price most advantageous to the city. Any qualified potential contractor may protest an intent to award a sole source procurement exceeding $75,000 within 30 calendar days after the sole source procurement is posted to the ABQ View Website. Any sole source contract that exceeds $75,000 shall be subject to City Council approval.
