Request for Waiver of Competitive Bidding All purchases of a service that are over $100,000, and materials over $75,000 must be competitively bid pursuant to board rule 3359-3-07. Exceptional circumstances which warrant the waiver of competitive bidding include, but are not limited to emergencies, temporary professional, technical and specialized services or equipment, materials, supplies, or services can be purchased only from a single supplier ("sole source.") Departments will be required to complete a "Request for Waiver of Competitive Bidding" if they believe their situation warrants an exemption.  All requests must be reviewed and approved by the director of purchasing and the office of general counsel.

VPAT_Policy- University policy on procurement and partnerships with technology suppliers

The University must apply accessibility standards to technology and digital products and services that it buys, uses and maintains. For technology or digital purchases that are not part of a formal procurement process and involve the generation of a purchase order or a P-Card purchase over $1,000, the purchasing requisition process will include a step where Information Technology Services (ITS) will have the vendor complete the VPAT. To expedite the approval process for these purchases, the appropriate contact information (i.e. email address and phone number) for the vendor should be provided.
For P-Card purchases under $1,000 or which involve a technology purchase with no costs or fees, the purchaser will be required to validate that the technology product or service meets accessibility requirements.
