The bid will allow you to order these additional quantities without the necessity of repeating the bid process.
- Unanticipated items during the year will require a bid if the amount of the request is $75,000 or more.
- Orders for unanticipated items cannot be submitted separately to avoid the bid process.
- Orders cannot be split between purchase orders and P-Card to avoid bidding
- Regardless of the number of logos and items, orders being placed at the same time period and a combined total of over $75,000 are subject to bid.
