304: Procurement of Commodities
The procurement of certain commodities on a regular basis
is not practical with common public procurement procedures
such as sealed bidding.
Examples of these types of purchases include the on-going
purchase of food products or other commodity type items such
as computer memory. Products such as these have pricing and
availability which vary on a daily or weekly basis.
Methods of maximizing competition, within reason, are to
be implemented by the Purchasing staff with the approval of
the Purchasing Manager.
