We can generate purchase orders for services with existing vendors up to $5,000 without competing bids.

From $5,000-$25,000, 3 bids for comparable services must be obtained. All bids must come in written form as a quote.

All quotes must be submitted to the Contracts & Purchasing Team to process the Purchase Order Number (PO#). Please ensure to include the vendor that you would like to proceed with, and provide a rationale if selecting a vendor other than the lowest bidder.

NOTE: We are capped at $25,000 per non-contracted vendor, per fiscal year for the whole Division of Early Childhood Education.
