SJSU purchases from the lowest cost vendor who can meet our requirements. Vendors are selected by the informal bid, formal bid, or formal proposal process. There are two exceptions: Sole Brand and Sole Source purchases.

• Sole brand items have unique performance features not found in other items, but are available on the open market from multiple sources.
• Sole source items have unique performance features not found in other items and are available only from a single manufacturer or from a dealer with exclusive distribution rights.

If you think your web requisition order may qualify, please complete the Sole Brand/Sole Source Justification (pdf).
