Explanation

Single source procurement is non-competitive: the buyer selects a preferred vendor without soliciting competing bids, even though other qualified vendors may exist (e.g., an existing relationship or strategic preference). A qualified sellers list is competitive - it identifies multiple pre-screened vendors who are then invited to bid. A screening system is a tool used to filter vendors in a competitive process. Evaluation criteria are used to compare competing proposals. Only single source bypasses competition by design.
