(a) a procurement item for which there is no comparable product or service, such as a one-of-a-kind item available from only one vendor;
(b) a component or replacement part for which there is no commercially available substitute, and which can be obtained only directly from the manufacturer; or

(3) Before awarding a sole source contract, the procurement official shall, when practicable, conduct a price analysis in accordance with Section R33-112-603.
