In doing so, we are bound to comply with the policies set by the Board of Curators and University Administration.
Competitive Bids or Proposals are required for purchased services and items exceeding $10,000, unless already on contract with the University. Purchases exceeding $100,000 require formal bidding processes. We invite suppliers to view a listing of our open bids.
