Procurement Services recently launched a new, enhanced version of the Sole Source Justification (SSJ) form. The updated form is easier and more convenient for the U-M purchasing community to use. The new form:
- Has fewer pages and questions
- Uses Adobe’s form features with easy-to-fill text fields
- Streamlines acknowledgement and approval signatures with typable entry
Please review this article on Completing the Sole Source Justification Form for tips and detailed instructions. It includes guidance on how to establish the need for a sole source purchase or agreement, which allows Procurement Services to expedite your request.
