A. General. The issuance of Requests for Bids (RFB) is a method of soliciting offers from vendors in a sealed process in order to establish pricing, specification or performance standards, and the terms and conditions for the purchase of goods and services. [rev. 11-07]

B. Procedure. For purchases totaling more than $50,000 per order, a RFB must be used. Purchasing Services has the sole responsibility for issuing RFBs. To the extent possible, quotations must be solicited from a minimum of three responsible and responsive vendors in a fair and ethical process. Vendor's responses to RFB's must be made on the University's bid form and must be completed, executed, and submitted in accordance with the instructions of the bid document.

B-1. Solicitation of Bids. Purchasing Services shall ensure adequate RFBs are prepared which clearly define the goods or services needed in order for bidders to properly respond to the request. Such RFBs shall include:

1. Clearly defined specifications for the purchase of goods or a statement of work to be performed for the purchase of services.
2. University's General Terms and Conditions [See APM 60.06].
3. Required delivery or completion schedule.
4. Any solicitation statements required by state or federal agencies.
5. Any other provisions, procedures, or statements, as deemed necessary by Purchasing Services.

B-2. Standard Specifications. Specifications contained in the RFB will, where practical, be non-restrictive so as to provide an equal basis for competition and participation by an optimum number of qualified bidders. Unless otherwise stated, reference to any equipment, material or supplies by trade name, make, or catalog number shall be regarded as establishing a standard of quality and shall not be construed as limiting competition. The final decision as to whether an item is an equivalent or a satisfactory alternate shall rest with Purchasing Services [See APM
