How do I find Sole Source contracts in Indiana?

Sole Source contracts in Indiana are posted on federal (SAM.gov) and state procurement portals. Federal set-aside contracts require Sole Source certification through certify.SBA.gov. Indiana state contracts may also have separate small-business preference programs — Indiana Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE), Indiana Veteran-Owned Small Business (IVOSB). ProcureTap aggregates both federal and state-level opportunities and filters by set-aside indicators when the source data includes them.

Does Indiana have its own equivalent of Sole Source?

Indiana's state-level small-business programs include: Indiana Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE); Indiana Veteran-Owned Small Business (IVOSB). These state programs are separate from the federal Sole Source program and have their own certification processes. Statutory reference: Indiana Code §5-22 (Public Purchases).

Where can I register as a Sole Source vendor in Indiana?

Federal Sole Source certification is handled by the SBA at certify.SBA.gov. For Indiana state contracts, additional vendor registration is required at Indiana Department of Administration Procurement (https://www.in.gov/idoa/procurement/). Most local agencies have their own procurement platforms (Bonfire, PlanetBids, DemandStar, etc.) — one registration per platform typically covers all agencies on that platform.
