What procurement policies have changed that affect OSD vendors?
Other than the obvious – access to and automatic notice of all bid opportunities in your selected commodity categories, one new initiative for those quote opportunities that are secured by telephone has been approved. District staff must demonstrate that they have included at least one of their three quotes from a vendor in the District’s Encouragement program. If no such vendor has been included and is available, then a fourth quote must be added from such an eligible vendor.
