Before You Start
- Purchases $20,000 – $75,000 require a method of source selection called Competitive Bid Quote.
- Some purchases may be able to bypass source selection. Complete the Source Selection Worksheet to determine source selection requirements for your purchase.
- Competitive Bid Quote requires the Requestor to price the good/service being purchased with at least 3 vendors.
- Additional attachment requirements apply to requisitions for goods/services requiring a Competitive Bid Quote.
Workflow as Steps
The Requestor must follow the steps outlined below.
- Identify at least three vendors offering the good/service you need.
- Get quotes from the three vendors.
- Download and complete the Competitive Bid Quote Form, available on the Procurement Services website.
- Proceed to create a Requisition using the vendor that offered the lowest price for the good/service.
- Attach all three quotes and the completed Competitive Bid Quote Form to the requisition.
