Western Piedmont Community College will abide by the \u00a0N.C. Community College Purchasing and Equipment Procedures Manual<\/a> (\u201cManual\u201d).\u00a0 The Manual shall control in the event of any inconsistencies with this Policy or any of the College\u2019s purchasing procedures.<\/p>\n

Purchasing procedures are originated by the North Carolina Division of Purchase and Contract. \u00a0Such procedures are sanctioned by N.C.G.S. \u00a7 143, Article 3 and \u00a7 115D-58.5.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. State Contract Items<\/u> – Items on state contract may be ordered directly from the vendor subject to any restrictions on the contract certification.<\/li>\n
  2. Non-Contract Items<\/u> – Non-contract items of less than $10,000 total order may be placed by the College without the oversight or approval of the Division of Purchase and Contract Good purchasing practices mandate that competition is to be sought for all purchases. For small purchases, where the total order is $5,000 or less, telephone or e-quotes should be obtained to establish competitive prices, unless the items are purchased off a state contract. \u00a0A record of those quotes should be attached to the requisition. \u00a0For the purchase of more than $5,000 but less than $10,000, a minimum of three written quotes must be obtained and attached to the purchase requisition, unless the items are purchased off state contract. \u00a0If three written quotes cannot be obtained, users must attach a note explaining the circumstances.<\/li>\n
  3. Competitive Bid Items<\/u> – Non-contract items over $10,000 must be sent by requisition to the Division of Purchase and Contract for competitive bids.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
