with Supply Manual Article 5.002(d): where only one supplier or

where there is an absence of competition for technical reasons
and the goods or services can be supplied only be a particular
supplier and no alternative or substitute exists.

A sole source RFP will be sent to Telerob, Germany, requesting a
formal quote with the required price support.

levels.
