Contracting Services
These services must be included in the Private School Comprehensive Needs Assessment Plan. If the activity is not included, you must contact the Program Director to revise your plan.
New Procurement Policies
Micro-purchases of $25,000 or less:
Micro-purchases do not require competition but should, whenever possible, be distributed equitably among qualified suppliers. The micro-purchase threshold is adjusted periodically and documented in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Subpart 2.1).
Small purchases ($25,001 - $250,000):
Purchases and contracts above the micro-purchase threshold and no more than $250,000 can be solicited by competitive quotes or informal requests for proposals.
