Sole Source program at a glance
A contract awarded without competition because the agency has determined only one source can perform the work — a procurement method, not a small-business program. Several set-aside programs allow sole-source awards within certain dollar thresholds.
New York state small-business programs
In addition to federal Sole Source set-asides, New York maintains its own small-business preference programs. These state programs have separate certifications and eligibility criteria.
