Sole Source Resources for Procurement Teams

Bob Barker Company offers a broad portfolio of exclusive products designed specifically for correctional environments. Alongside trusted national brands, we also manufacture items protected by patents, trademarks, and exclusive supply agreements.

These protections mean certain products are available only through Bob Barker and include official Sole Source letters, helping your agency streamline purchasing, support non-competitive awards when appropriate, and ensure you receive the exact product specified.

How Product Protection Works

Each product falls into one of the following protection categories:

  1. Patented Products | Protected by U.S. patents and available solely from Bob Barker.
  2. Trademarked Products | Brand-protected items that ensure consistent quality and sourcing.
  3. Exclusivity | National brands with exclusive distribution.
  4. Contract Manufacturing | Products manufactured for Bob Barker and not sold through other distributors.

Accessing Sole Source Letters

To support your procurement documentation, official Sole Source letters are available:

  • Directly on each product display page (PDP) by SKU under “Documents”
  • Or compiled in one location – below - for easy, agency-ready downloads
