The Purchasing Department of the Maricopa
Community College District strives for:
- Maximization
of Competition. Specifications
are written to allow the purchasing process to be as
open as possible to a number of qualified vendors.
- Equal
and Fair Competition. Each
vendor is provided the same information regarding product
or service needs/specifications and their responses
(such as price quotes) are kept confidential until
the purchase is made.
- Best Value
at the Lowest Price. The purchase
must be made at the lowest price for the product or service
that best meets the needs of the requisitioner.
