Emergency & Sole Source Procurements:

Emergency procurement enables rapid response to unforeseen events that threaten public health, safety, or welfare. We expedite procedures, maintain transparency, and collaborate with pre-approved vendors to restore services and protect residents quickly.

Sole source procurement involves purchasing from a single supplier without competitive bidding, typically when only one supplier meets unique qualifications, proprietary technology, or exclusive rights.

You can view Archived Emergency Procurement and Sole Source records here.
