Bid Information Sheet
(Per Business Affairs Web Site)![]()
Requisition Types:
Small Orders: Purchases up to $5,000 do not require bids.
This limit does not apply to state contract items, printing, paper products, or purchasing items repetitively to avoid the bid process. Allow 2 days for purchasing to process after the requisition has been approved by your department. If your requisition is under $1,000 and meets certain parameters, it will qualify for the Auto Purchase Order function in BASIS. This type of purchase will automatically issue a purchase order, by-passing buyer review. Auto PO's are reviewed during post-audit.
Written/Fax Quotes: Purchases $5,000 to $25,000
A minority vendor must be contacted. You must have 3 firm bids (bids with actual dollar amounts). If you received a "no bid" or "no response" from a minority include that on your bid sheet but you still must have 3 other bids. Allow 4 days for purchasing to process after your department has approved the requisition in BASIS. Send copies of tab sheet and vendor's responses to your buyer's attention. Attachments will be reviewed prior to issuance of purchase order.
Formal Bids: Purchases over $25,000
Must be processed and performed by Purchasing.
Average process time is 6 to 8 weeks. It is never too early to work with your buyer on specifications.
Use this form for receiving packages that do not contain a packing slip.
