OFFICE OF PURCHASINGREQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS

REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS


Procurement Services has guidelines for when a Request for Proposal (RFP) is required. Also listed here are current RFP's.

The RFP process is required when the total order exceeds $50,000. If you are requesting a waiver from the bid process, a non-competitive bid statement must be filled out, signed, and submitted to Procurement along with any quotes attached to the requisition.

The RFP process typically requires 4 weeks - 1 week to draft the specifications and have them approved by the Procurement & Contracting Specialist, the issuing department, and the Director of Procurement Services - and 3 weeks for the proposals to be mailed to the vendors and returned to Procurement. Departments should provide Procurement with complete specifications, including quantities, sizes, colors, full descriptions. Departments may suggest vendors and we will provide additional names based on the approved vendor list.
