Every School Food Authority (SFA) must develop and have written policies and procedures that:
- promote free and open competition;
- document the SFA’s rationale of the evaluation and selection process;
- document the SFA’s selection procedures for each procurement method; and
- document the SFA’s process of awarding the contract was both responsive and responsible.
Noncompetitive Procurement
Although rare, it is certainly possible that only one source of a particular product or service exists, or that a manufacturer makes the exclusive product available through only one distributor or supplier.
These are genuine "sole source" situations that would warrant the use of noncompetitive procurement.
When a sole source situation exists, the procurement must involve noncompetitive procurement; that is, the purchaser must negotiate for the best price and terms with the sole supplier of the product or service, as opposed to simply purchasing the product or service at the price and terms initially offered by the supplier. This should help ensure that the SFA receives the best possible price and terms.
