Is there only one supplier (sole sourced)?
According to a 2009 City of Pittsburgh policy document,
a Sole Source Professional Services contract is a contract involving unique professional services that are documented to be available from one source only. An example could be art restoration by a particular artist on his or her own work. The term may also include specialized training or maintenance services on verified sole-source purchases.
