Certain State Contracts are established by the State Office of Purchasing and Travel on the basis of written specifications and sealed competitive bids with a contract being awarded to the vendor that has submitted the lowest bid that meets the specifications. ALL STATE AGENCIES ARE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE FROM THESE STATE CONTRACTS UNLESS APPROVAL TO DO OTHERWISE IS OBTAINED FROM THE OFFICE OF PURCHASING AND TRAVEL. This approval process is handled through the Purchasing Department. If you have questions or need more information about these items that are on a state contract, you should contact the Purchasing Department.
