Purchase
Order Requisitions for all purchases from any of the 57 Vendors approved through
Rutgers
Contract P08-080 (recommended):
Always refer
to contract number P08-080 in your requisition when purchasing reagents,
supplies and equipment/instruments from the 57 Rutgers approved
research vendors. The advantage of using one of these vendors is
that compliance forms, competing quotes, bidding or waivers are NOT required
regardless of the dollar amount or item in the catalogue (i.e., there are
no limitations). In addition, the vendor must provide Rutgers customers a minimum
discount based on the contract terms. This contract based discount does not
preclude further “special” discounts beyond this minimum that
you may arrange with the vendor for bulk or special pricing. If a special
discount has been quoted, include the list price as well as your negotiated
discount price in the banner requisition, with the quotation reference number
from the vendor. Keep a copy of your quote for your files.
Purchase Order Requisitions for vendors not approved through contract P08-080:
Purchases
from non-Rutgers approved vendors under $2,500: Always use
the Express PO mechanism. Indicate the list price and your quoted price
(if you have a quoted discount). Indicate that “this reagent/supply/instrument
is not available via any of the vendors approved under Rutgers P08-080”.
Purchases
from non-Rutgers approved vendors between $2,500–$17,500:
Include the following statement in banner when placing the requisition “this
reagent/supply/instrument is not available via any of the vendors approved
under Rutgers P08-080. Justification: sole source”. If not sole
source, provide 3 competing quotes and a justification for your choice of
vendor, e.g., the lowest cost, you are purchasing a component of an existing
instrument, or other scientific/protocol/empirical data based reasoning.
Purchases
from non-Rutgers approved vendors between $17,500–$25,900:
Follow the same instructions as # 2; but in addition, compliance
forms are also required.
Purchases
from non-Rutgers approved vendors above $25,900: If the reagent/supply
or instrument is not available through any of the approved vendors, please
contact Stanley Makarevic, Bid Waiver
Coordinator, to begin the public bid or bid waiver process.
Note: If a vendor
that you purchase from on a regular basis is not listed under contract P08-080,
please contact Mark Michaelson,
Manager, Rutgers Purchasing Services to explore the possibility of adding vendors
to this contract via supplements, or other avenues that may be available.
