(b) When it is impractical to obtain pricing in advance of issuance of the purchase order; and
(c) When the purchase is for repairs to equipment requiring disassembly to determine the nature and extent of repairs, material is available from only one (1) source, and for which cost cannot be readily established, or goods or services for which prices are known to be competitive but exact prices are not known.
