Mingo County School District shows no history of sole source awards in public records. There is no stated sole source dollar threshold in the provided materials; the district’s extremely low $1,000 competitive bidding threshold makes sole source impractical. Redirect requests to cooperative purchasing to avoid the formal bid. If a department insists on sole source, coordinate with the business office; strong justification and approvals under local policy and WVDE Policy 8200 would be required and are unlikely to be favored.
Agency-specific vendor registration, compliance steps, and approval routing shape the purchasing timeline.
