When the lowest bidder is not selected by the end user, it must be clearly stated in writing why the lowest bidder was not selected. Sole source requisitions must be accompanied by a written, detailed explanation and justification. The Purchasing Department has the experience and capability needed to seek out reliable and economical vendors. Purchasing's goal is to maximize value and provide convenience to the end users while complying with laws, rules and regulations. We are here to provide a service.
Service is our first priority.
The College's suppliers are a valuable source of information on products and services. Although this office should be your first resource, there will be times when we recommend that you speak directly with selected supplier representatives. They can often help clarify what products or services will best meet your needs. We can provide you with information on qualified suppliers. Contact more than one qualified supplier whenever possible.
