SOLE OR SINGLE SOURCE CERTIFICATION
BUTTON
The University Purchasing Policy is structured to meet all Federal and Provincial laws that govern competitive bidding
practices. This bid process protects both the university and the individual purchaser from liability that could result from a
challenge to a contract award. Therefore if no competitive quotes are to be solicited by Purchasing Services, a sole source
certification must accompany the requisition forwarded to Purchasing to place the order. By affixing your signature
hereto, the undersigned accepts personal responsibility that one or more of the following conditions apply to this
procurement. In this case Purchasing will obtain an official quote from the proposed sole source vendor to respond to.
