Solicitation Method

The solicitation method is generally determined by the estimated TOTAL dollar value of the product or services being purchased.

Dollar Range Solicitation Method
$0 to <$15,000 Open Market: Competitive quotes are encouraged, but not required. A purchase order can  be issued after a written quote is solicited from a single source. A good faith effort should  be made to include quotes from a certified Texas HUB vendor. 
$15,000 to <$50,000 Informal Bid*: A minimum of three written quotes are required. A good faith effort must be  made to include quotes from certified Texas HUB vendor. Award is generally based on cost &  delivery. Non-competitive methods may also be used, if appropriate.
$50,000+ Formal Bid*: A competitive solicitation may be required. A good faith effort must be made  to include quotes from certified Texas HUB vendor. Non-competitive methods may also be  used, if appropriate.

NOTE: The utilization of existing contracts that have been competitively awarded eliminates the need for bidding at the institution level.
