the requester has done to ensure that the product/commodity is truly
sole source, including a description of the the process used to select
the requested product/commodity;

includes all costs, including shipping and handling; and

information including vendor number and price to include shipping.

Moratorium approval is required on all computer

Moratorium questions need to be addressed to
