Sole Source contracts represent a significant portion of government contract awards and are used by many Contracting Officers because they are fast, easy, and don’t require reviewing dozens of proposals.

This briefing will provide an updated look at the Sole Source contracting space and how companies can identify and capture opportunities. Since the beginning of the Trump Administration, a wave of speed, uncertainty and shifting priorities are driving contract actions. With billions expected to be spent before the end of the fiscal year, the race is already underway, especially agencies anticipate changes to mission focus. The use of Sole Source awards is expanding under both long-standing and newly re-emphasized authorities - these pathways are especially critical in this transition year, where agency programs are under pressure to both spend efficiently and realign with changing priorities.

Your company may qualify for streamlined Sole Source awards worth $7 million or more, particularly through approvals by high-level procurement officials like the Senior Procurement Executive (e.g., ASAALT at DoD). With shifting policy signals from the new administration, now is the time to position your business as a fast-response, no-hassle partner for federal buyers under pressure.
