Sole Source Procurement Under the Uniform Guidance

May 25, 2023

Access the on-demand webinar here

Every grantee knows that “sole source” and “limited source” procurements are high-risk events when using federal funds. Yet, the Uniform Guidance does not offer much clarity on when sole source and limited source procurements are permissible. Despite listing potential justifications of “only available from a single source,” “public emergencies,” and more, the regulations do not go on to explain what might qualify as fitting within these general categories, exposing grantees to the peril of strict after-the-fact review of any noncompetitive procurement. In this webinar, FTLF attorney Scott S. Sheffler bring years of experience in both federal government contracts and federal grants to an in-depth discussion of this often vexing area of the law.
