The division may determine, because of the nature of a certain
problem or desired programmatic response, that a competitive grant or
formula-based allocation process would not be the most appropriate or
expeditious process through which to award funds. In such cases, the division
may seek out a potential subgrantee with which it can develop a sole source
contract for services. The division shall be alert to organizational conflicts
of interest and noncompetitive practices among contractors that may restrict or
eliminate competition or otherwise restrain trade. The division's awarding and
administration of any sole source contract shall be governed by all relevant
state and federal laws and regulations.
