The directed source commitment program shall include the following requirements: Contractor agrees and understands that all approved State Use products – relating to the Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) Products categories – will be available through work center QPAs or through the directed source provision. Contractor agrees to sell approved items from work centers unless the work center (vendor) cannot meet the delivery and/or specifications, as requested. Approved items shall include those listed on current State Use Contracts. State Use products shall be introduced on an annual basis and included with this directed source provision. At the time an approved item is introduced and included with the directed source provision, the State and Contractor shall determine the appropriate ▇▇▇▇-up, if any. Only items that are warehoused and delivered by the Contractor shall be subject to a ▇▇▇▇-up. A fair market assessment shall be provided as justification for proposed ▇▇▇▇-up and shall receive approval of the State Contract Manager before item is introduced through this Contract. Details of the Employee Purchase Program shall be listed on the State Personnel website so that all State Employees may take advantage of the program. The Contractor shall extend this program to K-12, Library and other Governmental Entities and work directly with these entities for any set up that is required. These entities have direct approval on how/if this program is implemented.
