Purchasing Ethics
Where ethical competition is possible, all qualified bidders on record shall have equal opportunity to submit bids on a uniform and specified basis. No bidder shall receive special consideration or be allowed to revise a bid after having received information from other bids.
All University employees shall refrain from any relationships which give any bidder an advantage and shall accept no gratuities or in any other manner obligate themselves to any representative of concerns seeking University business.
All purchases of goods and services are to be requisitioned through the purchasing office prior to actually making the purchase.
Requisitions for items costing less than $5,000 can be made with the procurement card when cardholder has delegated authority.
