Sole Brand Procurement

 

A sole brand procurement is prohibited except in the following instances:

a.  The sole brand product is unique and essential to the CSU’s requirements,
      thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another   
      company, or

            b.  The sole brand product is required to match other similar product already in
                  place and the use of an alternate product would cause the CSU to incur
                  substantial additional costs.

c.  The sole brand product is required for the immediate preservation of the public 
      health, welfare, or safety, or the protection of CSU property and programs.

d.  The determination as to whether a procurement has been adequately justified in
      writing for a sole brand award shall be made by the designated campus
      authority.
