Procedures

If a school/department becomes aware of a contract held by another entity that may be of benefit to the university, the school/department should submit a purchase requisition for the items required. The requisition should contain a notice to Procurement explaining the existence of the contract with as much information as is available to assist Procurement in locating the information needed to make the determination required by university Policy. Procurement will then contact the supplier to secure agreement to allow GW to use the contract.

From time to time, Procurement may request estimated quantities of commodities to be used by schools/departments in cooperative bid processes initiated by Procurement or other entities.
