Some contracts established at the state level are mandatory for all state agencies. Access the Arkansas State Contracts page here to view and sort “mandatory” contracts.
The use of cooperative contracts are limited and require pre-approval of the Office of State Procurement [OSP]. If any UAMS department anticipates the procurement of goods and services through any cooperative contract the department must pre-plan and include the Procurement or Contract office in advance of the request and prior to commencement of any work/service or purchase of goods. Contact the Procurement or Contract office for guidance.
