All purchase contracts involving an expenditure of more than $50,000 for products and/or services shall be awarded based on the formal competitive bid process with awards being made to the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications on our Requests for Bids, and the highest ranked vendor on our Requests for Proposals.

Awards shall be determined on the basis of one of the following methods:

• Cost alone.
• On a cost per quality point basis.

Many CSU or campus-wide pricing agreements have been established as a result of the competitive bid process. Once such contracts or agreements are established, SJSU Buyers can purchase products and services against them without being constrained by any additional requirement for competition.
