Buyers will select prospective bidders in a number proportionate to each expenditure, ordinarily choosing firms that they evaluate as offering a maximum effort in competition and service. At twenty thousand dollars, advertisements are placed in two local newspapers. As a State institution, we are privileged to use State contracts. We also participate in joint purchase agreements with the State Universities Council, the City of Cincinnati, and others. The Central Purchasing Department is responsible for procurement of goods and services for the entire University family, including the Clifton Campus, the Medical Center, OMI College of Applied Science, Raymond Walters College, and Clermont College.
Expenditures exceed one hundred seventy million dollars annually.
